Support network programming

[tisonkun]

The most nearly stuff I've found is http://cisco.github.io/ChezScheme/csug9.5/foreign.html#./foreign:h9

However, for what reason chez itself does not support procedure on network programming?

This is somewhat philosophical, in that Chez Scheme seeks to provide the tools for building things like a network programming library, not to be a programming environment that includes everything plus the kitchen sink.

The foreign function interface provides the tools needed to write a network programming library, and there is an example of using it to do socket programming in the examples directory (see socket.ss and csocket.c in the example directory).

There are also libraries that have already been written for this including: @arcfide's chez-sockets library, @evilbinary's scheme-lib that supports a wide variety of FFI-based features, and @becls' swish-win and swish which provide a framework for writing Scheme programs with Erlang-style concurrency and supports network programming (amongst other things) for Windows or *nix operating systems.

OK so I could either write it by myself or use an exist lib. Thank you. I feel good with such philosophy.
