Well, the thing is Guile's aim seems to be that it shall become ubiquitous. I mean, the aim of guile is that it shall become a part of nearly every GNU program as a standard extension language. And GNU's aim, you might argue might be said to be Linus's "World Domination". The upshot is that guile could one day be in places that you wouldn't dream of. No, I'm not really worried, but it does give pause for thought. >Also, the fd's aren't necessarily going to be in a contiguous space of memory, >which could also help. It will almost always help.
