Good point. Clearly there are no draft R6RS programs
except for scripts plus the libraries they import. By
the phrase "real programs", I mean the much larger
category of programs that were defined by the R5RS and
earlier reports, which some R6RS editors have insisted
are not ruled out by the R6RS. I welcome suggestions
for a better way to refer to these non-R6RS programs.
