Some sections contained within this document were sourced (almost verbatim) from the Revised-7th Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme (which we shall call the "original document" or "original text").
Therefore we would like to acknowledge the original document authors, and thank them for their efforts both in the standardization effort, and the editing of the original document.
The original document authors are listed in the "Authors" appendix; moreover other individuals that have helped in the creation of the original document are listed in the "Acknowledgments" appendix.

These text adapted as follows:
the original text used LaTeX, and thus was converted to CommonMark (mainly via regular expressions replacements and manual editing);
the "internal" references (i.e. pointing inside that document) were replaced with "textual" descriptions; (for example
see section 3.5was replaced withsee section on proper tail recursion;)most of the "external" references or citations were replaced with links of the form [citation], which for the moment are "broken"; some other references were transformed into emphasised text of the form Some Standard; meanwhile other references were completely removed;
the original text was split into smaller chunks and placed within this document where needed; thus although this document contains almost all of the original text, it does so in an "unordered" manner;
This usage (and adaptation) of the original text is explicitly allowed by the original authors, as described at the end of the introduction chapter:
We intend this report to belong to the entire Scheme community, and so we grant permission to copy it in whole or in part without fee. In particular, we encourage implementers of Scheme to use this report as a starting point for manuals and other documentation, modifying it as necessary.
