Re: emacs with guile instead of elisp

I'd say that unexec is tricky but libguile itself is fit to be used
with unexec (it could need some kind of pure heap, tho).

That is, you can write applications that use libguile and unexec and
make them work.  It is much harder and maybe impossible to integegrate
unexec into libguile so that every application that uses libguile
automatically gets unexec capabilities.

I don't think that adding libguile to Emacs makes its unexec problems
worse.
