And I really think that's where we want to go in order to get memory semantics and behavior that are "Guile orthodox" to a degree that we'll get more attention for problems we are experiencing than what we have been working with so far. CS-> In my opinion, this outcome is worth a lot for our project. We've had lots of garbage-collection-related errors as we have moved to new versions of Guile. And the Guile people (reasonably enough from their point of view) say they can't help us, because our system is too complex. CS -> If we can get "Guile orthodox" on our memory semantics, we'll have much lower barriers to getting help from the Guile crew, IMO. Carl
