This has always been in the plans. In my original posting I mentioned attempting ports of pieces of both bigloo and PLT Scheme. It makes sense, I think, to leverage the designs of libraries from other languages as well, if there's no scheme equivalent around, and 'schemify' them. I was suprised at how hard some of this stuff has been to port, though...especially when a scheme has different/more macro capabilities than guile, I have to learn a lot about the other dialect just to understand what they're doing!
