Type: defect
Priority: minor
Component: Arithmetic
Version: 5.91
In <16.3.2. Signalling fixnum operations>, the "fx" prefix should be  
separated from the rest of each name using a hyphen in exactly the  
way as the prefix "fixnum-" is used, e.g.  fxdiv should be fx-div.   
Similarly, in <16.4. Flonums>, the "fl-" prefix should be used  
analogously to the "fixnum-" prefix for consistency.  Currently, the  
naming conventions are inconsistent.
