What is the "DotNet Scheme" and who is developing it??  A good programming
language (and scheme is one) should not tie itself to any specific library
(except for so called "standard library"). Library support should be provided by
modules like PLT Scheme does it already. Is DotNet Scheme just a module to
bring in DotNet functionality or is it yet another Scheme dialect??
