Yes, of course. I know it's difficult. I'm just trying to incite debate.

Suggested pairs could be, for instance:

- Scheme and Scheme Reloaded (optionally Scheme Revolutions, aka Schemer)
- Scheme Standard Edition and Scheme Enterprise Edition.
- Scheme Embedded Edition and Scheme Standard Edition.
- Schemenstein and his bride.
- Scheme Embedded Profile and Scheme Enterprise Profile.
- Scheme Academic and Scheme Professional.
- Scheme and Scheme Professional Edition.
- R7RS Scheme and SR7R Scheme (SR7R to be defined)

Any others, anyone?
