It should work/break in the same way.

Yes. Incidentally, that should work in compiled files too, since
require-extension calls require-library at *both* expansion and
evaluation time.

That got fixed pretty quickly.

It is defined in the SISC manual (the beta version - see
http://sisc.sourceforge.net/manual-beta/ch10.html#SRFI55), is compatible
with srfi-55 (which the previous version wasn't), and I have no plans to
change it again. Of course this doesn't mean it won't change ever, but
the same is true of everything else.
