Re: [ANN] CHICKEN 5.4.0 release candidate available

Super. One small question, again.
The documentation of (chicken file posix) module about procedure
'file-select'  says: "If the optional argument TIMEOUT is given and not
false, then it should specify the number of seconds after which the wait is
to be aborted (the value may be a floating point number)."
but type signature even in 5.4.0rc1 is
"file-select ((or (list-of fixnum) fixnum false) (or (list-of fixnum)
fixnum false) #!optional fixnum) * *))"
... so TIMEOUT is fixnum so user can not use rational of inexact value for
milliseconds precision.
 (In POSIX select TIMEOUT type is  timeval struct {tv_sec, tv_usec})
May be is right time to correct documentation,... or file-select / type
source code (way way preferable)
