I'll have a look at it sometime when I can disentangle the conflicts
with my changes as I can't remember what the state of it was.  Someone
made different changes to what I suggested which weren't right and I'd
have to check what I fixed on top of that.

By the way, there my be stuff worth picking up for scheme.el from
Quack <URL:http://www.neilvandyke.org/quack/>, though that looks
rather baroque.  I think there's also a special mode for scheme48
which might have things to feed back.
