It is getting closer, it's hard to say when it will arrive.  I'm

hope that I have strings and symbols nailed next week.  The rest

Hmm, my feeling is that this will not work very well with Guile since
Guile is a much smaller project with fewer people working on it.

Yeah, I can understand this.  Hopefully, changes will be smaller in
the future so that we don't need to wait so long.
