When we do include external libs, we should strive to leave upstream
files unmodified, as is done for (sxml ssax), (system base lalr),
(ice-9 match), and others.

I think it would make sense to include ‘fmt’ in core Guile only if the
API is reasonably stable and there are infrequent upstream releases, so
we don’t quickly end up shipping an old incompatible version.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
