I think important question to ask here is whether this manual section
documents SRFI-64 or what Guile ships as SRFI-64.  Current
implementation shipped by Guile has many quirks that do not conform to
the specification.

Based on this I believe it describes the specification.

I think either of those is fine (albeit describing the Guile's flavor
would be preferred), but is should be stated (that the behavior
described by the manual does not match the implementation shipped).

Have a nice day,
Tomas
