Then perhaps the goals of the Guile-Emacs project should be shifted, such that the first goal is to have Emacs that can use Scheme extensions, and push the goal of having Emacs Lisp based on Scheme farther into the future. The extensions written in Scheme need to interoperate with all the extensions written in Emacs Lisp. Whether the roadmap for getting there ought to be changed, I am not sure. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
