Description

It uses symbol as the type for keywords used as arguments in some procedures like `thread-wait-for-i/o!`.

The easiest way to solve this for now would be to change it to `*`. For 5.0, `keyword` isn't supported.

Possibly a better alternative (though very ugly): Write a custom build script which replaces `keyword` with `symbol` in the types file when running under CHICKEN 5.0.

Fixed with a custom build script. Ugly, but effective
