Fascinating! Assuming we can resolve the details you have listed, what are the other high-level pros/cons, apart from performance? Does this mean we would discard all Guile's own GC code? Also, is Boehm GC as sophisticated as the generational GC ideas that people have talked over the last year about adding Guile, or can we expect future Boehm GC development to cover this? Is Boehm GC an active project? What else uses it?
