Here's the abstract:
This SRFI follows SRFI 203 in providing "out-of-the-box" support for
hosting the exercises suggested by Structure and Interpretation of
Computer Programs in portable Scheme.
Whereas SRFI 203 focused on the necessarily non-portable aspects of
the problem set (the graphics), this SRFI aims to provide support for
the rest of the features, which are far more widespread, often already
provided, and in reality mostly need just a common vocabulary.
This SRFI provides subroutines for working with time data,
multi-threading, streams and SICP names for true and false.
None of these subroutines are fit for production use, and are only
designed for pedagogical purposes.
Students, however, are expected to be able to just write
(include (srfi sicp))
and have the code from the book run without problems
(apart from those intended by the book authors).

SRFI Editor
