Here's the full syntax for the script proposal with my revision
included. A script consists of:
<script header> <script body>
where
<script header> -> #!/usr/bin/env scheme-script <line break> #!r6rs
<script body> -> (script <library name> <entry name>)
<library>
| (script <library name>)
<relaxed library body>
Also, as I mentioned, I'd like to consider making #!r6rs optional.
BTW, I realize that the idea of having the nature of the body change
depending on the presence or absence of <entry name> may be considered
undesirable. I'm open to alternatives; this just seemed like a simple
hook to integrate the additional functionality with minimal changes to
the rest of the existing proposal.
Also, I looked at the issue of using #!/usr/bin/env vs. a more direct
invocation. I like the env approach more now than I did originally, so
I withdraw my objection to that. One benefit is that it means that
scheme-script can be a shell script, which wouldn't be possible on many
Unixes if it were invoked directly as #!/usr/bin/scheme-script.
