Re: emacs with guile instead of elisp


    Unexec has at least one limitation that makes it difficult to use with
    guile.  It requires the entire heap image to be statically linked.

Perhaps this means that part of making Emacs use Guile will
be extending unexec.  (I expected it was a big job.)

    This is a problem when the standard way to add compiled C code to
    guile is by creating a dynamically linked module.

It may be the standard way, but that doesn't mean Emacs has to work
that way.
