== Boxes ==

This is a trivial module, providing objects with a single mutable state.  Several Schemes have something like it, sometimes called ''cells''.  Boxes are a disjoint type.

== Procedures ==

 * `box`: constructor
 * `box?`: predicate
 * `unbox`: accessor
 * `set-box!`: mutator

== Existing implementations ==
