I don't know how the rest of the Gang of Four feels about this issue,
but speaking for myself:
If someone can post benchmarking results that come out in favor of
Boehm --- even comparisons with Guile's non-generational GC --- I'll
start pushing for it. It would be nice for Guile to be able to ride
on top of Boehm's efforts. Boehm's GC has become a focal point for GC
hacking, and it would be nice for us to take advantage of that.
