Many thanks.  Your egg has been added to the coop.

Regarding documentation: all fine.  Some people create it in advance,
some after the egg gets added.  Both are good as long as we eventually
have some documentation. :-)

Some nitpicking: is the dependency on r7rs really necessary, assuming
your egg uses the FFI, which is CHICKEN-specific?

All the best.
Mario
