This prompted a few questions: Would it be reasonable for guile to depend on glib? I wouldn't mind, but I suspect others would view this as a problem. If not, would a 'guile-glib' package that has interfaces to the glib functions be appropriate. The new guile-gobject might support this already. Didn't Jay Glascoe have auto-resizing hash tables implemented before? Using glib's implementation (in glib, not copying the code) really seems preferable, either natively in guile or via (possibly enhanced) guile-gobject.
