Actually, I'm attempting to work around the problem via object-properties.
If this works, then my proposal will not be necessary.
(So far, though, it's become fairly messy. As I was telling someone else,
I was hoping to "evolve" the code towards embedded-Scheme. It would be
too much work to make everything "smob-able" given the size of the C
program and this proposed (I guess) emulation of closures in C would ease
the transition. ("Smob-ification" would have been a lot easier if I could
have used SWIG, but apparently Guile support has been pulled.))
