Indeed, currently the only way to do that is by using a separate
Emacs session. Cask is a tool to automate this. For some use cases
this is exactly what we need (e.g. testing a package on various
versions of Emacs), but in other use cases it's a pain to have to use
two separate Emacs sessions.
There's definitely room for improvement in this arena.

I presume you're talking about the part where he discusses the future of
Emacs's extension language. I do have some opinion about that, yes ;-)
