I still do not understand. First of all, the standard cannot bind
anything that does not claim to conform to it, neither a program nor a
Scheme implementation. And second, what can one of this "larger category
of programs" do that cannot be done by a script which imports libraries?
I take scripts and libraries to be the R6RS units of program construction,
as files are in C and classes in Java.
