Other than that, I think it’s no big deal if some packages don’t follow exactly this rule. I encourage people to follow this rule, but I prefer a patch that violates it than no patch at all. I guess it’s about finding the right balance between nitpicking and welcoming. ;-) Importers render code with (ice-9 pretty-print), which is quite primitive, so they cannot follow sophisticated rules. So apart from the manual, I wouldn’t change anything. What do people think? Ludo’.
