+Chez Scheme is a complete implementation of the language of the
+Revised^6 Report on Scheme (R6RS), with numerous extensions.
+It sports a fast compiler that generates native code for x86,
+x86_64,and 32-bit PowerPC architectures.
+Formerly a commercial product, it was open-sourced by Cisco Systems
+in April 2016.
+
+The unthreaded version is built by default, but enabling support for
+multithreading is easy:
+ THREADED=yes sh ./ChezScheme.SlackBuild
+
+The full testing battery can also be run after the build completes:
+ TEST=yes sh ./ChezScheme.SlackBuild
