Since visibility of the work on Guile Emacs seem to be pretty much
nil, one way to prove that CLISP would be a better way would be to
simply get a barely working emacs clone running on it and document
some design considerations and thoughts.  I'm sure it would attract
people that want to work on it.

Can CLISP take advantage of the non-ASCII work that has gone into
GNOME?  This seems to be one major work item for a Guile port.
Leveraging on the GNOME work seem to give many modern features easily
(Unicode, bidi).
