Hobbit priorities are currently to be R4RS compliant, not guile or SCM specific. But your suggestion seems easy enough to be implemented to have some chance to be available in a (near) future release. So it is added to the TODO list.

This option will certainly be available in next release. Miroslav> 1) is the only feature I /really/ miss (and I need it to Miroslav> use hobbit properly). Apart from this, this compiler Miroslav> really works for the things I tested it with (*non* Miroslav> trivial programs). I still consider it as beta software. -- B. Urban
