Note, however, one of this year's Google-Summer-of-Code projects is
integrating guile into Emacs; the idea is to use guile as the
interpreter for Emacs Lisp.  At the same time, Scheme will be
available for free.

Whenever there will be results, I don't know.  In any case, it will
hopefully help remove zillions of buglets in guile 2.x :-)
