I'm not sure srfi helps: I find it worse than the original syntax: sure 
there is no more parenthesis, but now functions are spread over too many 
lines.
I remember one article where the author used a very light grey (over a 
white background) for the parenthesis to make them less noticeable..

With a correct indentation, this presentation trick makes the program 
far more readable for non-Lispers..
