yes, yes, and yes (oh, and yes).  echoes my thoughts, except you are
so much more coherent...

one thing I'd like to propose: what about getting the environments and
GOOPS into the core Guile?  like, now.  like, in a branch or
something.  it'll make the thinking/experimentation/playing vastly
easier for many people.

I'm hereby volunteering to try, unless any of the Powerful Ones
objects.

I should be able to start looking at it this weekend.  Jost, Mikael:
mail me any helpful suggestions you might have.
