If I'm not wildly mistaken, it seems to me that there's not really
much of a design or even a strategy _at_all_ for the somewhat lofty
idea of having multiple languages compile down to Scheme, and then run
from guile.
Given that, #f/'() seems like a fairly small item indeed. If I was
going to say anything on the subject, I'd say that the more
standards-compliant we are with the Scheme implementation, the easier
it's going to be to have a consistent, reasonable, and practicable
translate-language-X-to-Scheme design.
