@ijp: thanks for the info ;-)

@ludo: Thanks! I'll try to do it follow your steps. 
Besides, do we have the final conclusion for the multi-lang choosing
approach, say, --lang=lua/elisp or #lang lua or a script:
guile-lua/guile-elisp... whatever. IIRC, ijp raised such a topic, but it
seems no conclusion.
I ask this because there should be an easy way to test some big code
segment written in other language.
