Not written yet. Something like:
- FAQ
- Scheme is too complicated.
- Conservative GC sucks.
- sketch of module system issues:
- installing a Guile package must be as simple as `configure; make install'
- make Guile smaller: R5RS + module system + dynamic linking
- separate compilation
- multiple simultaneous syntaxes
- coherent view of translators, interface generators, and other
compile-time aids
- dependency tracking
- threading position
- GC position
- no required speedup
- incremental okay, if it's optional
- internationalization issues
- probably follow Tcl and Perl's lead
