Same here! Off-topic - Which Scheme dialect are you using to practice the SICP? I'm using Racket!

I've also been going through SICP, using racket. However, I've been using Neil van Dyke's SICP-compliant support package, so I feel my use is closer to SICP scheme than racket (if that claim even makes sense)

I use this line at the top of my scripts :

#lang planet neil/sicp

Yes, it makes absolute sense, there are quite a few things in SICP that aren't "legal" in Racket.

Using the Van Dyke plugin is an absolute must for SICP on Racket, IMO.
