Freetalk itself is partially in C and Scheme. Extensions are
completely in Scheme. You can imagine as init.scm coming from to
Scheme part of Freetalk. So init.scm is a system file. It is used by
freetalk core to do basic initialization and provide full fledged
environment and functionalities to the extensions. 

Be aware, Scheme is like cocaine. Verrry addictive!!!

Me and Avati had a long discussion about hooks. We are going to
provide another extension what will introduce extended hooks
functionality. Hooks that can control the flow of execution.

Do not document the Scheme part of documentation. Wait till the
primitives are frozen. They will go into "Hackers Guide"
chapter. Till then concentrate on installation,
configuration/customization and usage part (User Guide Chapter).
