+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This module is fully documented in the Guile Reference Manual.
+
+;;; Code:
+
+;; FIXME: I haven't checked a decent amount of this code for potential
+;; performance improvements, but I suspect that there may be some
+;; substantial ones to be realized, esp. in the later "parsing" half
+;; of the file, by rewriting the code with use of more Guile native
+;; functions that do more work in a "chunk".
+;;
+;; FIXME: mkoeppe: Time zones are treated a little simplistic in
+;; SRFI-19; they are only a numeric offset.  Thus, printing time zones
+;; (LOCALE-PRINT-TIME-ZONE) can't be implemented sensibly.  The
+;; functions taking an optional TZ-OFFSET should be extended to take a
+;; symbolic time-zone (like "CET"); this string should be stored in
+;; the DATE structure.
