What about loading alternative implementation of a feature, 

such as falling back onto the reference implementation of a SRFI if the Scheme

you're using doesn't provide one? I actually think this would ease writing

libraries likes SLIB or Nausicaa that support multiple Scheme implementations 

and have to Spackle the gaps in features between them.
