Pushed! (Maybe I didn’t leave enough time for objections – apologies if
it ends up requiring a revert! I’ll be around to work through any
issues this might cause.)

Yes, please!

When the Scheme-only bootstrap landed, it was very exciting, but it made
a real mess of ‘commencement.scm’. Since I played a part in creating
that mess, I figured I ought to work to fix it. :) I’m hoping our
Scheme-heavy approach to bootstrapping will result in something clean
and comprehensible, so taking an explicit step in that direction makes
me happy.
