Well I hope that since you're on the committee (well I thought you
were last time I looked which was *ages* ago) that it will. I realize
that R6RS is progressing into the 'real-world', but I think it would
be a huge loss to lose *any* of compiler optimizations because of
standardization language - and I say this even though I was bitten
last night by current Twobit's reordering of LET-bindings where I was
reading from a file. I deserved it :)
