Description

srfi-69 is a widely-used CHICKEN egg, but it does not provide types--in particular, programs using srfi-69 cannot use hash-table as a type in their own code, but must use the non-specific * type instead. This makes it harder to catch mistakes when using this egg. Please add type information to srfi-69.

After re-reading the Types wiki page, I realize that srfi-69 *can't* currently provide a hash-table type for public use. Please ignore that part of the ticket.

(chicken type) has the `hash-table' type as a builtin; see "Structure type"
