Does anyone use dictionaries other than hash tables? So far,
`scheme/dict' doesn't seem to be worth even the day or two I spent on
it.

I love scheme/dict. I've implemented several instances, including id- tables (mutable and immutable), skip-lists, and gvectors, and I use all of them in my code. I admit that I mostly use the instance's procedures instead of the generics in checked-in code, but I'm more likely to use generics at the repl. Also, 'in-dict' is really useful.
