"Lexical libraries" would be different from the current libraries in
various ways, simply because they fulfill different purposes.
Specifically, they don't have to serve as a distribution or
configuration mechanism, which is exactly why the naming requirements
for them are different than for R6RS libraries. So I don't see any
problem here.
