I want to move structures that are now in C++ to scheme. A C++ class
provides a (compile time) namespace, I want to move that to a
run-time namespace in scheme.
I want different C++ objects (with scheme embedded) to be linked by
C++ pointers. I want to access these other objects from the Scheme
code, and I want access to these pointers from C++.
(The reason for this, is that I want to do "reverse GC": I want to
remove an object, and have all references to it disappear
automagically)
