See also SRFI 152: String Library (reduced), SRFI 160: Homogeneous numeric vector libraries, and SRFI 207: String-notated bytevectors. This SRFI implements a modified version of the R6RS’s (rnrs bytevectors (6)) library, which has procedures for the serialization and deserialization of numbers into bytevectors, and conversion to/from Unicode. It also includes some procedures from SRFI 207 that are relevant to all bytevectors, such as serialization/deserialization into strings, and order predicates.
