Nothing big AFAIK --- it's just tempting to depend on its extensions rather
than using standard libraries like SLIB.
I think it's simple: we need to resist such temptations and write in
portable Scheme. Do we have any performance issues with Guile?
Personally, I'd like to see us keep it and refine what we have. As we know,
rewrites are rarely a panacea. :-)
