Yes - renaming (either on import, export, or both) supports this kind of wrapping. The only question is whether the exported name can be imported elsewhere without further renaming. > Does SRFI-83 allow redefinition and export of R5RS procedures? Yes, as above. However, no SRFI-83 library would be able to import the names without prefixing them or renaming, since every SRFI-83 library imports "scheme://r6rs". If we manage to at least agree on libraries that are all in the "scheme://r6rs" (e.g., this SRFI), then we may eventually be able to agree on ways to portably define new languages --- where a new language could provide alternate bindings for names exported by "scheme://r6rs". This SRFI, meanwhile, doesn't support it. Matthew
