I like this. It remedies the most obvious representational flaw in functional languages -- at least compared to OO. Does it depend on R6RS? . . . I might consider a port to Chicken.

(There is an inconsistency, though: the typing of fields is the reverse of the typing of instances)

Thanks!

It uses syntax-case which I heard that Chicken 4.0 doesn't provide. However, the hackers on the Chicken list might be able to give you advice regarding a conversion to their macro system.
