>Guile includes a module system, full access to POSIX system calls,
>networking support, multiple threads, dynamic linking, a foreign
>function call interface, and powerful string processing.

>Guile can run interactively, as a script interpreter, and as a Scheme
>compiler to VM bytecode.  It is also packaged as a library so that
>applications can easily incorporate a complete Scheme interpreter/VM.
>An application can use Guile as an extension language, a clean and
>powerful configuration language, or as multi-purpose "glue" to connect
>primitives provided by the application.  It is easy to call Scheme code
>From C code and vice versa.  Applications can add new functions, data
>types, control structures, and even syntax to Guile, to create a
>domain-specific language tailored to the task at hand.

>Guile 2.9.7 can be installed in parallel with Guile 2.2.x; see
