       * Your descriptions of features are sometimes so vaguely stated that
       they are impossible to discuss. For example, you have mentioned
       "port/descriptor unification" and how it's realy great. But I don't
       know what a descriptor is, in this context, or how it differs from a
       port, because your definitions did not make the distinction
       clear.  

A "descriptor", in this context, is simply an ordinary unix file
descriptor, reified as a first-class Scheme object.
