If a Lisp reference is needed, one can call
(lisp-eval '(current-global-map)).

If Emacs Scheme treated keymaps as opaque objects like XEmacs
does, that would be easier to solve. But I suppose RMS wouldn't
approve that.

That's right. They should probably also be associated with GOOPS
classes.

IIRC, SCWM keeps its modules under (app scwm ...). Perhaps Emacs
modules should be (app emacs ...).

I would really like thread support in Emacs Scheme. Multiple
threads should be able to process different buffers at the same
time. Perhaps the "current buffer" should be thread-local.
