Actually, from the Common Lisp HyperSpec:

| 22.3.10.2 Missing and Additional FORMAT Arguments
| 
| The consequences are undefined if no arg remains for a directive
| requiring an argument. However, it is permissible for one or more
| args to remain unprocessed by a directive; such args are ignored.

So maybe the check for superfluous arguments should be disabled in
Guile (whether address@hidden is used or not).  It's not a very important issue,
though; I'd say it's OK do deviate from CL here if it's documented.
