Definitely not.   R[57]RS says:  "By convention, ? is the final
character of the names of procedures that always return a boolean
value. Such procedures are called predicates." There is nothing said
about the number of arguments:  In particular, `eq?`, `eqv?`, and
`equal?` are predicates that take two arguments, and the various
ordering predicates take two or more of them.

Just so.

I agree.
