Hi Michael,

Thanks for looking at this. I think it might be cleaner to use something like

(define (error/args fmt . args)
  (error (apply simple-format #f  fmt args)))

instead of repeating the pattern every time.

On the other hand it's bad to add more definitions to (ice-9 boot) since 
they're globally visible. Maybe someone else can suggest a better solution.

regards
