example of a module which is included in core Guile, instead of
SRFI-6.
(SRFI-6): Mention the non-conformance of the core 'open-input-string'
and 'open-output-string' procedures. Remove the claim that importing
this module does nothing. Recommend that users import the module.

omitted from some procedure definitions (e.g. `request-method').
Minor tweaks, such as using en-dash and missing markup as appropriate.
Wrap very long deffn lines.
