RE: Name of the standard library

>Is (import (srfi :N)) portable in practice?

 

I don’t know. I know that (srfi srfi-N) isn’t portable, but I don’t know what _is_ portable.  I don’t know if ‘(import ...)’ is standard either (sure it is as part of ‘define-library’, but I didn’t find it on its own in r7rs.pdf),

 

That said, at least the name is standard, so it would be good to make it available under this name in Guile:

(srfi 1) is problematic, since ‘1’ is not an symbol (#{1}# is, but that’s not what has been choosen in SRFI 97).

Sure, but on this subject it’s mostly empty.
