Ok, but I'll stand firm on the top-level-doesn't-exist view of this
particular SRFI.

Although the SRFI still says something about the toplevel.  In particular,
the statement it makes seems to be:

  "The toplevel cannot be considered a library",

unless we change Scheme by having reserved words and disallow shadowing at the
toplevel.

This state of affairs may indeed be entirely reasonable, as long as it is intended.
