By all means write it up as a SRFI, then, and I'll add it to the ballot,
even though we'll be voting before it can be finalized.  There is precedent
for this, as long as there is a spec to work from.  Arthur is letting specs
be posted without implementation these days, though not finalized without
implementation.
