Why make them look up extra table?

Because it really doesn't take long, especially once one has done the mapping the first time, and because letting Unix-isms creep into Scheme code bit by bit like this is what makes it less and less beautiful and more and more of a historical mishmash.  Self-consistency is more important than consistency with third-party code.
