1222	Rework error handling to make it work better with non-POSIX functions	sjamaan		"The core system is extremely ANSI/POSIX-centered. This means for example, that {{{##sys#update-errno}}} and strerror are used all over the place.

Unfortunately, this makes handling errors unnecessarily hard when dealing with native Windows functions (and potentially similar on other platforms).  Michele La Monaca [gave an example of how to deal with this http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/chicken-hackers/2014-10/msg00072.html] in a thread where he pointed out that {{{rename-file}}} is inconsistent across platforms when the target file already exists."	enhancement	new	major	someday	core libraries					medium
