I Tim> think it would be useful to import into the core Guile Tim> distribution. Does anyone object? I object, your honour! I don't use "format" much, and I install SLIB for many other reasons. I like the model of installing gcc and the glibc separately, and I think the same applies to slib. On top of that, I think that it is wise to let Aubrey and his team maintain SLIB, without duplicating it in Guile. What I would do is put a recommendation in the INSTALL or README file, or the docs, telling people to grab SLIB and install that too.
