As I've indicated before, this is something I would be interested in
working on. How much time I have to dedicate to it anytime real soon is
not clear (the decompiler project might count a bit toward it), but I
would like to be able to write highly modular code for a system where the
modularity barriers get optimized out at run-time (which would effectively
be link-time). And be able to use GUILE as a sort of "middleware"
language, and still have good performance.
