[Chicken-hackers] Gauche, R7RS, and dots

[John Cowan]

Gauche has just released its R7RS implementation.  Existing Gauche
modules use dotted names by convention (e.g. math.prime, rfc.json,
text.html-lite), and these are mapped directly into R7RS module
names as (math prime), (rfc json), etc.  So it turns out to be
good that Chicken is using this convention too.

(In not-so-good news, Gambit has abandoned its R7RS implementation,
or more accurately the former implementer has abandoned Gambit.)
