Oh, btw.
Any speed issues I treat as a Guile problem.
cgen would smoke on a Scheme implementation that did dynamic compilation.
[and of course there's my pie-in-the-sky dream of having that implementation
use cgen for the backend of its dynamic compilation engine]
Not that hard to do, maybe someday in my dreams.
[and as for the bootstrapping issue, I'd imagine the Scheme implementation
would have both a computed-goto based engine and a dc engine]
