ice-9 r4rs

[Sebastian Tennant]

Hi,

(info "(guile-1.8)File Ports")

   -- Scheme Procedure: open-input-file filename
       Open FILENAME for input.  Equivalent to
            (open-file FILENAME "r")

   -- Scheme Procedure: open-output-file filename
       Open FILENAME for output.  Equivalent to
            (open-file FILENAME "w")

These procs are found in ice-9 r4rs.  The docs make no mention of this
fact.

Having found the procs, you'd expect

  (use-modules (ice-9 r4rs))

to work but it's broken.  r4rs.scm doesn't even contain a call to
define-module.

Although:

 load-from-path "ice-9/r4rs"

doesn't throw an error open-input-file and open-output-file are still
not bound.
