Summary: "/" in procedure names should mean "with"

Initial Comment:
There is a naming convention in Scheme that denotes
"with" with "/" in procedure names, e.g. |call/cc| for
|call-with-current-continuation|. The converse is also
true, i.e. "/" should, usually, mean "with".

Hence we should not have any procedure names containing
"/" unless it stands for "with".

SISC falls faul of that rule in a bunch of modules that
use "/" as a prefix in exported symbols, e.g. |thread/new|.

We also have |with/fc|, which makes no sense at all.
