The default language is mostly compatible with the The default language is based on the latest draft of
@hyperlink["http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/HTML/"]{R5RS} and @hyperlink["http://scheme-reports.org/"]{R7RS}, which is mostly a

differences made by design, not through difficulty of implementation. @hyperlink["http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/HTML/"]{R5RS}.
Some of the more expensive bindings are not included in the interest

The following procedures are omitted: To get the exact R7RS language, you can @scheme{(import (scheme base))},
and likewise for the other R7RS libraries.

Apart from this, the reader defaults case-sensitive, like R6RS and R7RS but
