OK, lets assume we want to get rid of "acros" and "macros". When should that happen, and when should the corresponding functions be removed from guile? Removing these would change the interface. According to our standard procedure, this would mean going through a phase of deprecating the corresponding functions. However, this would mean, we could not actually proceed with working on the evaluator, since as long as those functions exist (even if deprecated) it is not possible to split up the evaluator. Hmm?
