Just to update you on what will appear in draft 7, based on the sixth
ballot:
Write is being split into three procedures:
write, which detects loops and prints datum labels (#n=, #n#) for
them.
write-simple, which does not detect loops (same as R5RS write).
write-shared, which detects both loops and shared structure, printing
datum labels for both.
Display will be the same as write.

I don't see that you're interfering with it. What happens with shebang
lines is implementation-dependent. If you are writing portable code,
you need to avoid them. In any case, we already have #!fold-case and
#!no-fold-case in both R6RS and R7RS, as well as #!r6rs in R6RS (there
is no R7RS analogue).

C-expr could mean anything. SRFI 105 is a unique name and tells you
where to look.
