Almost what I wish. Rather than an onion, I'd rather fancy a magnet.
The onion model makes Level N force to have too much. I believe it's better
to partition cleverly related tools/design changes together in (disjoint)
sets. This sets would have to be big like several SRFIs at once, in order to
make them attractive.
And an implementor may decide to hardocde feature X but to provide feature Y
as something external to be included, or not as efficient. Provided it's
there…

Then my OS will complain about no finding the command ascii (or not being
able to handle the arguments).
First line shebang is to make scripts.
I'd rather embed that in comments… (but then,  (print (read)) is not similar
to the initial data… unless one hacks the read-table?)

P!
