To be fair:

But, blast it, if little Chibi can include a full numeric tower, why
should Chicken position itself with RScheme and VX, plus a bunch of
broken Schemes that always return a fixnum when multiplying fixnums,
even if it's the wrong one?

See http://trac.sacrideo.us/wg/wiki/NumericTower for a table of which
Schemes support which numeric tower features.

This table needs to be fixed wrt RScheme:


jfw@ajax:~$ fshell
RScheme (v0.7.3.4-b7u, 2007-05-30)
Copyright (C) 1995-2005 Donovan Kolbly <[email protected]>
RScheme comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
type ",warranty" for details; type ",help" for some help
top[0]=>(define phi 3.1415926)
value := phi
top[1]=>(define eee 0-i)
value := eee
top[2]=>(/ phi eee)
value := 0.+3.14159i
top[3]=>(/ phi (* eee eee))
value := -3.14159
top[4]=>(* (/ 3 5) 5)
value := 3
top[5]=>(/ 3 5)
value := 3/5



If you see what I mean: while rscheme seems to have bugs wrt.
some type coercion, it's obviously not bound to intergers.
