The development tree now supports a quick implementation of SRFI-55 (require-extension) in boot-9.scm. See http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-55/srfi-55.html.
require-extension is available without loading any modules, and so it provides a portable way to load SRFIs, i.e. (require-extension (srfi 1 13)). Note that the current implementation expands into a suitable set of use-modules statements, and so it can only be called from the top-level. The SRFI specification seems somewhat vague on the point, and so it's not entirely clear if such a restriction is or isn't OK. Simple tests are in test-suite/standalone/test-require-extension. I also just realized that I forgot to add appropriate info documentation. I'll try to make some time to do that, but if anyone else is motivated, go right ahead.
