Re: API conflicts

Oops, one fix.

The signature under "Scheme collections" suggested this, but
the description under "Collections" certainly permits arbitrary
number of collections.
But srfi-1's list= clearly specifies the order of argument
passed to elt=, while srfi-44 doesn't, so two function may
behave differently in some cases.

Besides the above signature mismatch, I find other typos and errors
in other signatures.   I attach a patch of what I noticed so far.
