We would like a standard for checking function arity.
SRFI-102 proposes a way to check function arity:
Many Scheme systems provide mechanisms for inspecting the arity of a procedural value, making it a common feature, however there is no standard interface. As a result there is no portable way to observe the arity of a procedure.
Do we standardize it ?

Ok, I agree to postpone this issue until a (dynamic) type system has been proposed.
