Weren't the previous discussions mainly about conservative vs
precise gc?  Would it be possible to use stackless Scheme
execution and still conservatively scan the C stack?

Stackless execution seems worth investigating just for the speed-up to
call/cc: it's one of the main features of Scheme and it should be
possible to use it without worrying about performance.
