Re: 1.8.2 srfi-19 warns about current-time

module-replace! forces the list of symbols in its second argument to
be put into the :replace list?
  (could not find documentation)

Correct.  It's not documented (yet).

Can I help? I mean, presuming that the sentence above, or some extension, is reasonable documentation? I get a sense that there is a reluctance to document things because that entails a commitment to supporting them in the future -- is that the issue here?

Because the argument to SRFI-19 `current-time' defaults to `time-utc',
and we can't change it.  :-)

Being new to the community, I don't have a sense of how this strange library system called srfi works. It does not appear to have version control. Would one propose a (string-append "srfi-" (next-id)) that's just like srfi-19 except that it has current-time defaulting to time-monotonic? If this is a ball of hair I can read about somewhere, or should take offline, I'm happy with that. I'm just curious.

Thanks,
Grem
