Two follow-up items:
1. Will's formal comment #198 on the R6RS was relevant to this topic:
http://www.r6rs.org/formal-comments/comment-198.txt
2. There is a compile-despite-errors switch within Twobit.
https://trac.ccs.neu.edu/trac/larceny/wiki/DargoMode
I do not know much about the switch, but if wanted to insist upon
compiling libraries with erroneous dead code, then that would be where
I would look. (I am not sure whether the switch is correctly
implemented in your version of Larceny; there was a ticket (Ticket
#442) about it not working properly some months ago, but Will resolved
that problem.)
