I come from TCL:

* in the TCL world it is known that the sample
  extension is a module in the CVS repository of
  the TCL core project at SourceForge; if one goes
  to the TCL'ers Wiki and does a search he quickly
  finds it;

* in the TCL world a channel is a generalisation
  of Guile ports; not only it does I/O on file,
  sockets and memory (strings), but channels can be
  stacked to do compression, encryption, etc.

With TCL a channel is somewhat complex because: there
is also the event loop to take into account; so simpler
stacking is what I'm trying to do in a C only library and
I would like to build an interface for Guile.

  If someone wants to take a look at what I've done so
far (it is only half written, it is tough to do reverse
engineering):
