   An "ordinary unix file descriptor" is an integer.  Isn't "4" already a
   first-class Scheme object?

   I'm not trying to be a nudge--it's just that your "clarification"
   isn't one, because taken literally, it's not right.



This area too deserves a design document.

Briefly, Read The Friendly Manual at www.regexps.com (both for the
Hackerlab C library, and Systas Scheme).

The scheme-library directory in Systas contains examples of the I/O
system in action.
