Priority    : minor
Component   : Libraries
Version     : 5.92
Pages       : 25
Dependencies: None

Summary:
--------

It is stated on p.25 that (r6rs base) exports syntax-rules and identifier-syntax 
at level 1.  This is insufficient for writing most useful macros unless the 
identifiers ... and _ are also exported for level 1.

Proposed correction:
--------------------

State that the identifiers ... and _ are exported at level 1 by (r6rs base).
