    How and why?  Things like buffer-local variables are concepts broken
    in principle in Emacs Lisp.  Moving to Scheme is a chance to correct
    these historic mistakes.

We seem to have very basic disagreements.  It is not likely I would
agree with recommendations that you make on this issue.

    Check out R5RS.  For example, at:

    http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/HTML/r5rs-Z-H-9.html#%_idx_576

I will try to send email to fetch this.
