SRFI-9 and 99 are indeed interesting. But I mostly ment "traditional"
types ala C (or even better, ala Ada ;). I know Scheme is a duck-typed
language, but some type safety would help us.

Thank you for your answer. Are setters portable? I am asking since it
would be nice to be able to run in other implementations. I am sorry if
this is a newbee question, since I am not familiar with Scheme and its
idiosyncrasies.
