No, my SRFI does not require first-class locations.
I've mentioned first-class locations as a possible *extension* to the SRFI.

Yeah, I guess so.  However, Kawa also has:
        (define-alias NAME LVALUE)
which makes `NAME' equivalent to `(TMP)', where:
        (define TMP (location LVALUE))

I think that may be difficult to do without C-level support.
But this is a further extension, not part of the SRFI-17.
