Good choice, I am reading it too currently. Maybe I should share my unit
tests somewhere?
I think many Schemes do not implement these procedures. Guile does not
and neither does Racket, which I used for most of the books examples and
exercises. I think those procedures are defined in the book in order to
have a common ground for a lot of Schemes, so that you can use whatever
you want and so that the ideas of the book are clear and not dependent
on one specific Scheme dialect.
I don't know about any plans of the Guile developers though.
