Hi,

That's a good question! Maybe we should make a feature table and analyze
what we currently have exposed to decide what we might want in the near
future that we don't currently have.

I'll have to read more code. I was just imagining something like that could work.

Do you know if guile provides a way of checking that? Should we ask on the guile mailing
list or should we read more code first to see what's currently provided?
