Actually, (prefix ...) is both safer than (except ..._) (a particular
implementation may have additional forms in the library beyond what's
required by WG2), and simpler to use:
(import (prefix (rnrs match) match:))
alternately, if you only want the `match' form (the only form in the
(rnrs match) library that does not override a core form), you could do:
(import (only (rnrs match) match))
However, I think the details of library/module imports and exports are
on the table for R7RS; not sure if I remember that correctly.
