System
------

These procedures are provided by all implementations.

 - Procedure: slib:load-source name
     Loads a file of Scheme source code from NAME with the default
     filename extension used in SLIB.  For instance if the filename
     extension used in SLIB is `.scm' then `(slib:load-source "foo")'
     will load from file `foo.scm'.

 - Procedure: slib:load-compiled name
     On implementations which support separtely loadable compiled
     modules, loads a file of compiled code from NAME with the
     implementation's filename extension for compiled code appended.

 - Procedure: slib:load name
     Loads a file of Scheme source or compiled code from NAME with the
     appropriate suffixes appended.  If both source and compiled code
     are present with the appropriate names then the implementation
     will load just one.  It is up to the implementation to choose
     which one will be loaded.

     If an implementation does not support compiled code then
     `slib:load' will be identical to `slib:load-source'.

 - Procedure: slib:eval obj
     `eval' returns the value of OBJ evaluated in the current top level
     environment.  Note: Eval provides a more general evaluation
     facility.

 - Procedure: slib:eval-load filename eval
     FILENAME should be a string.  If filename names an existing file,
     the Scheme source code expressions and definitions are read from
     the file and EVAL called with them sequentially.  The
     `slib:eval-load' procedure does not affect the values returned by
     `current-input-port' and `current-output-port'.

 - Procedure: slib:warn arg1 arg2 ...
     Outputs a warning message containing the arguments.

 - Procedure: slib:error arg1 arg2 ...
     Outputs an error message containing the arguments, aborts
     evaluation of the current form and responds in a system dependent
     way to the error.  Typical responses are to abort the program or
     to enter a read-eval-print loop.

 - Procedure: slib:exit n
 - Procedure: slib:exit
     Exits from the Scheme session returning status N to the system.
     If N is omitted or `#t', a success status is returned to the
     system (if possible).  If N is `#f' a failure is returned to the
     system (if possible).  If N is an integer, then N is returned to
     the system (if possible).  If the Scheme session cannot exit an
     unspecified value is returned from `slib:exit'.
