Since nobody's actually offering us an incremental collector at the moment, the whole conversation is kind of moot. I feel it's only courteous to let people people know what I would merge into Guile and what I wouldn't, and I've done that. 0) The obvious first rule: I can't accept something that I think will make Guile too difficult to maintain in the future. This is a judgement call, but I don't see any way to avoid that. 1) I'll accept clean changes that make the GC faster. They should show enough of an improvement to excuse the additional complexity. 2) I'll accept changes that make all GC pauses unnoticable, but only if the user can switch, at run time, to a fast collector. Folks are certainly welcome to discuss this further, but I don't feel like I'm accomplishing anything.
