I can do this...  But I don't think it's necessary.

Is this true on older versions of guile?  We still support guiles back
to 1.3.4 in the 1.8 tree.

I think that may be sufficient...  Looking at all the places where we
call "format" in the scheme code, we only use ~S and ~A.  So
simple-format is just fine.

Did my patch actually work, tho?  That's the question!
