I personally don't mind if it's homework or not, and in case there are
students out there wondering whether to ask questions on this list:
please do!  (Assuming that there is some connection with Guile/Scheme,
of course.)

(I don't mean by this to criticize what Clinton wrote...  Education is
complex; sometimes it works well to give hints, sometimes to give a
full answer, and different people have different approaches.)
