  I just noticed one unresolvable incompatibility with R6RS:

    `(bytevector-copy! bv1 i bv2 j k)`

  In R6RS this copies ''bv1[i..i+k-1]'' into ''bv2[j..j+k-1]''.   In the draft, it copies ''bv2[j..k-1]'' into ''bv1[i..i+(k-j)-1]''.  Ouch.  OTOH, I think R6RS got this one wrong: Mutable operations in Scheme have the target ("left-hand") value first, and the source ("right-hand") value last.

I have added a note to the 10th draft warning that R6RS is different.
