Experimental JIT for Guile (???!)

Earlier today, David Thompson pointed to this paper in #guix on
freenode:

  https://github.com/8c6794b6/guile-tjit-documentation/raw/master/nash.pdf

And here seems to be the source:

  https://github.com/8c6794b6/guile-tjit

I'm not informed enough to judge this myself, but this seems like a
reasonable start-of-implementation of the ideas expressed here:

It mentions hot loops and compiling to native code... that's about as
much as I can tell myself about it being on track.  But it seems pretty
cool, especially for something shooting onto the radar seemingly out of
nowhere!

Anyone more informed have thoughts? :)
