Tee-hee-hee. `Extended Range R^5RS' would be ERR^5RS which visually
puns such a lovely word :) Or we could go with ER^7S and obfuscate the
semantics of the 'R' which has another kind of pun-ny attraction to my
kind of evil mind...

Well the naming part is the most fun, but I learned to give up on that
topic years ago. It just wasn't worth the fighting about when the
semantics were what I wanted to get right :)
