`uvector?` is only available with SRFI-4 loaded, but `uvector-tag` is always available #521

I suppose the two should be either both in the stklos module or both in srfi/4 - no?

uvector-tag doesn't seem to be defined in SRFI 4.

What is uvector-tag?

stklos> (apropos "tag")
(tagbody)
stklos> (import (srfi 4))
stklos> (apropos "tag")
(tagbody)

What is uvector-tag?

Hmm, it's undocumented.

stklos> (uvector-tag (bytevector 2 3 4))
u8
stklos> (import (srfi 4))
stklos> (uvector-tag #s16(-1 2 3))
s16

Thinking about this - since uvector-tag can actually be used withoug the SRFI (for ordinary bytevectors), maybe it's ok as it is? (And this issue could be closed?)
