+..
+I have a couple of suggestions for the next revision of Scheme that
+all deal with orthogonality issues:
+..
+Second, map and for-each should apply also to strings and vectors.
+Why should Scheme provide better treatment for list than for other
+structured types?
+..
+Finally, do should be abolished altogether.  Is far too complicated
+operation compared to the rest of Scheme and seems like a relic from
+ancient times.
+..

I do support the above remarks.
If there is generic math functions, list/vector/string generic
functions seems natural.

I was surprised too at the "do" construct, that is far from
usual scheme elegance. (I find the current "do" quite baroque.)
