instead of SCSH

I think SCSH makes too much use of macros.

Process forms have a natural representation as lists and
can be interpreted at run-time without any serious 
performance penalty (as far as I can tell).

If process forms are lists, programs can build them 
at run-time, which is sometimes useful.

Systas contains a version of SCSH that doesn't use macros.

Perhaps it should be included in Guile.
