That makes sense, thanks. I was hoping we could land the uncontroversial patches, to make the diff easier to review and simplify any future rebases. I mentioned the defsubst commits as they seemed reasonable at first glance.

Is this feasible?

I have copyright assignment all in order now :). I don't have any wild ambitions for sweeping changes, I just thought it might be easier to land simple docs patches without making work for the core Guile folks.

Hi!  So, I'm the one who did the most recent rebase of wip-elisp.

Last I heard, Wingo was interested in merging, but looked over the
branch and saw that it wasn't a trivial merge... the branch added some
non-trivial changes to the compiler, and I think Wingo wanted to review
those before merging.  (I'm not really qualified to help, there.)

I leave this one to someone else to reply to, but you'd definitely need
to do copyright assignment for Guile.  I think other "establishing
yourself in the community" things apply, informally(??)
