I've added a few things there.  The only substantive point is that after
doing (use r7rs) in the REPL, the (scheme base) library should be loaded.
Currently it isn't, which means that (e.g.) you get the non-numbers version
of `/`.

+1.  Why are the R7RS library names like (foo bar) mapped to foo.bar
instead of foo-bar?
