Yeah, bad wording. I meant to say that setitimer will likely be in
the core, while (srfi srfi-19) is a module that can be loaded on
demand. So the code for setitimer can not use the types defined in
(srfi srfi-19) without loading it, which we might not want to happen
unconditionally.
However, this should not keep us from usinf SRFI-19 for time related
things. We can put an enhanced version of setitimer in (srfi
srfi-19), for example, or make (srfi srfi-19) overwrite the core
definition when it is loaded.
