Well, *something* isn't ready to go:

scheme@(guile-user)> (+ 1 2)
$3 = 3
scheme@(guile-user)> ,L elisp
Happy hacking with Emacs Lisp!  To switch back, type `,L scheme'.
elisp@(guile-user)> (+ 1 2)
$4 = 3
elisp@(guile-user)> (cons 'foo '())
$25 = (foo)
elisp@(guile-user) [10]> 

Hoo, 10 levels deep!
