That makes sense. I hit this error in debugging a CPS->GLIL compiler (which
I hope will become Guile's compiler, but that's another story). However,
once the debugging is done, I suppose it won't make a difference.

What do you think about enabling it only in the debug VM, or something like
that? Then if there's some way for me to run my code in debug mode, I can
get the better output without slowing down most things.
