Abstract

This SRFI describes a configuration language to be used for specifying the set of Scheme features or extensions required to run a program. In addition to a list of required features, a program may also contain Scheme code to be used only when a particular feature or combination of features is available.

The configuration language is entirely distinct from Scheme; it is neither embedded in Scheme nor includes Scheme as a subset.
