Re: emacs with guile instead of elisp

Obstacle: Emacs is a large program.

Solution: Rewrite part of the C code to use Guile, but keep the ELisp
          code untouched.

Requirement: Guile must know how to read ELisp.

Status: There exists an experimental Guile which can do this.
        However, further improvement is necessary to get a robust
        behaviour.
