[Uim] Proposal for SigScheme

[Kazuki Ohta]

Hi, All.

I receive the proposal for SigScheme as follows. This is 
actually the contents of branches/r5rs/sigscheme/MEMO file.

when do you plan to release 0.5.0?

OK. I confirmed. The last line mean that you want 
"dynamic-load"?

# I don't know "require" procedure's definition, it's not 
# defined in R5RS. Do you know?

This proposal relates to SRFI. I'm now considering about 
whether SigScheme implement it. I think SigScheme's core 
should be small. So, I plan to implement SRFI's procedures 
in Scheme code as much as I can.

How do you think about this?
