Text

* Add facilities for debugging Scheme programs.
The low-level debugging support is done, and we are now working on the
user interface.
* Documentation.
We have a new layout for the reference manual which covers the
C/Scheme interface, as well as the scheme variants. We also want a
more thorough tutorial manual, but we haven't sketched that out yet.
Desired later on
* Good interface to Tk
* Add a convenient facility for running a pipeline of processes
with redirections. Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
is working on this.
* Make it possible to link Guile and TK without using libtcl.a, by
providing Guile-based replacements for the libtcl.a functions that TK
requires.
* Make ordinary lambda functions work as callbacks for Tk;
eliminate the need for tcl-lambda.
* Translators for additional languages; in particular, Perl, Python,
TCL, Emacs Lisp, and Rexx.
* A package for time conversions and formatting.
* Make GDB work with Guile
This would permit programmable debugging and a nice integrated GUI.
Low-level things
* Use the SCM trick of tagging environments with immediates (see m_letrec1)
to convert source correctly in unmemocopy.
