description

    
The documentation for `begin' specifies that it is a sequential construct; but really it splices as well, and also of course it's a keyword for the module system currently.  This is inaccurate of the spec to say that "begin is for sequencing".

Suggestion: adopt the language of R6RS section 11.4.7.

--Andy Wingo

We should explain somewhere the four kinds of `begin`s: (begin expr ...), (begin decl ...), top-level begin, and module-top-level begin.  Note that R7RS like R5RS does not have (begin decl ... expr ...).
