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.)
