Well, I won't argue. But people are very free with internal procedures
in their code, and I suspect (though I have not verified it) that the
more closely associated with Chicken they were at the time the code
was written, the more their code is full of ##sys#this and ##sys#that.
Familiarity, as the saying is, breeds contempt.
