Right. Since I still use Kawa 1.8 at work (don't ask why please ;-), I
always forget about path expressions. 

I'm not sure SchemeScript will support the full generality of path
expressions. A number of types can be inferred syntactically, but I won't
integrate the compiler. This would obviously require too much work (I don't
have a lot of bandwidth to work on this right now ). I will at least try to
replicate the functionality found in SchemeScript 1.2.15.
