Well, it has been said that as long as you are in the hacking phase, you
shouldn't care about policy and naming, and I agree.  And, I think that
your changes will be a great step forward for guile.

However, when you are going to add your stuff to CVS I think it is
important that it does not deliberately violate conventions that have been
agreed upon.  Feel free to start a discussion about improving the
convention, but until the decision is made to change things the way you
like it, please follow the current convention when changing code in CVS.

Best regards,
Dirk Herrmann
