As I interpret the R5RS, it prescribes a single environment for all
identifiers.  Here is an excerpt from the start of Section 3.1:

  An identifier may name a type of syntax, or it may name a location
  where a value can be stored.  An identifier that names a type of syntax
  is called a syntactic keyword and is said to be bound to that syntax.
  An identifier htat names a location is called a variable and is said to
  be bound to that location.

To my knowledge the issue of splitting it into two or more environments
for R6RS has not come up before.  I am opposed to any such change.
