Proposal for a Scheme Filesystem Interface
Taylor Campbell

R5RS defines a very minimal interface to input, output, and file system
manipulation.  It is not comprehensive, and not very well-thought-out;
for those reasons, most implementations of Scheme each define their own
incompatible interfaces that cover necessity but very little beyond
that.  We propose a new report for an I/O system and a file system
interface, based slightly on those of T and MIT Scheme, designed to be:
   - comprehensive,
   - carefully thought out,
   - practical, but with _only_ the necessary practicality in mind,
   - elegant & simple, but not limitingly so, and
   - extensible
