One of our procedures has a scalability problem. Summarizing this as
"basic list functionality not working for lists of more than 10009
members" is a gross misrepresentation.
I responded within a day or so, and we had a conversation over the next
few days, but quickly ran into the problem that you wanted to change one
of our other API procedures in a non-standard way that conflicts with
our existing behavior, and you simply wouldn't take "no" for an answer.

I would be glad to fix the problem myself, but I was hoping that you
would adapt your patch without changing that other API procedure, so
that you would get credit for your work.

Is it really a show-stopper that Guile 2.0 has limitations in the sizes
of some expression types? Even C has similar limitations, and yet
somehow it seems to be successful.
