I don't use anything of the so far proposed code:
(defun lisp-insert-lambda ()
"Insert lambda form at point asking for parameters."
(interactive)
(insert "(lambda (" (read-string "Variables: ") ") ")
(save-excursion (insert ")")))
(add-hook 'scheme-mode-hook
#'(lambda ()
(local-set-key "\C-cl" 'lisp-insert-lambda)))
It's a "complete" backward-compatible solution that doesn't resort to
special extensions of the language. For single argument functions the
resulting code is not as readable as the [] notation, but IMHO is
better than any coriander based recipe.
The sense of my previous message is: IMHO, SRFI-26 is not general
enough and introduces a negligible improvement over standard Scheme.
