It sounds good. For example, if the user can customize the menu
layout, that's great. To do that, I don't want to give up Guile. From
my view, Pliant default syntax is not easy to implement a large-scale
project, so we will need to develop more powerful syntax if we use
Pliant. However, if we use Guile, we will implement new GRUB without
developing a translator, as long as we like Scheme.
