My personal idea about this for I/O is that it might be most useful if
the new
stuff solves the problem as it should
be solved---but preferably in a way
that the old stuff (R5RS I/O) can be
implemented on top of the new stuff
for backwards compatibility.
I don't oversee all the details right
now, but that should be doable here.
Sebastian.
