Ha!  That Eric Raymond has convinced people that "do one thing well" is the
Unix philosophy is a masterstroke of marketing.  When I look at the man
page of any widely used Unix tool, e.g. diff or find or ls or tar, I see
the furthest thing from "do one thing well" that is possible.  But from the
Scheme perspective, I understand what you mean.  (Sorry for the micro-rant.)
