While I am generally opposed to excessive over-specification,
expecting map to process its elements from left to right has
been perhaps the most common order-of-evaluation bug in R5RS
programs.  In order to catch this bug more often, and to
increase the portability of R6RS-conforming programs, I
therefore propose that map be required to process the
elements of its list arguments in the order used by Chez
Scheme [1].

[1]  That order appears to be: from left to right for elements
with odd index, followed by right to left for elements with
even index.  Kent, please correct me if I got this wrong.
