  Scheme
       
           (Originally "Schemer", by analogy with Planner
          and Conniver).  A small, uniform Lisp dialect with clean
          semantics, developed initially by Guy Steele and Gerald
          Sussman in 1975.  Scheme uses applicative order reduction
          and lexical scope.  It treats both functions and
          continuations as first-class objects.
       
          One of the most used implementations is DrScheme, others
          include Bigloo, Elk, Liar, Orbit, Scheme86 (Indiana
          U), SCM, MacScheme (Semantic Microsystems), PC Scheme
          (TI), MIT Scheme, and T.

          There have been a series of revisions of the report defining
          Scheme, known as RRS (Revised Report on Scheme), R2RS
          (Revised Revised Report ..), R3RS, R3.899RS, R4RS.

              To draw an exact scheme of Constantinople, or a map

        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: Plan; project; contrivance; purpose; device; plot.
  
     Usage: Scheme, Plan. Scheme and plan are subordinate to
            design; they propose modes of carrying our designs
            into effect. Scheme is the least definite of the two,
            and lies more in speculation. A plan is drawn out into
            details with a view to being carried into effect. As
            schemes are speculative, they often prove visionary;
            hence the opprobrious use of the words schemer and
            scheming. Plans, being more practical, are more
            frequently carried into effect.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  He forms the well-concerted scheme of mischief;

                  death.                            --Rowe.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  Artists and plans relieved my solemn hours;
                  I founded palaces, and planted bowers. --Prior.
