IIRC, it's (socket AF_INET SOCK_STREAM 0), then a separate connect call (so
yes, it's just a wrapper for BSD sockets). Sure, I could write an emulation of
tcp-connect, but I have no pressing reason to use Guile over MzScheme.

The biggest problem with Guile is that the documentation doesn't exist. It
looks like a worthy Scheme system, if you're willing to reverse engineer it's
library.
