Is a Saturday Night Special a kind of gun? I still stick to my
opinion on functions vs. macros, but I have been relenting out of
loyalty to you the maintainer: recent one-line additions/modifications
to gh_ have been implemented with macros, much as I hate doing so.
On the other hand, I don't see you taking all of the non-R4RS stuff
(UNIX calls and all) out of libguile and making it separate, which has
always been my gripe :-)
