SLIB

SLIB is a long-established library containing around 30,000 lines of Scheme code, working with many Scheme implementations. The version here repackages as much of SLIB (version 3b5) as possible into reusable R7RS libraries, and includes many tests and examples.

All libraries are imported as (import (slib NAME)) in place of (require 'NAME), and function/variable names are preserved in most cases, so the original documentation can still be used. (The README accompanying the source code describes the changes in more detail.)
