What do you mean with generic?
The way I imagine it, is that you can put declarations on variables
that the compiler is allowed to trust at compile-time, and one such
declaration could be "this variable holds the R5RS primitive procedure
'+' and will always hold it." This is a reasonable declaration to
make. The compiler could then inline the fixnum part of '+' and call
out-of-line code for the rest.
So my next proposal is to add declarations to variables... :-)
