ACK. Some performance improvements are only reacheable by replacing
general procedures by others, which are specialized in regard to its
argument types (fixnum, flonum etc.). I think this lack of
polyphormism results in less clear and less maintainable code. Chicken
has done the major step in speed improvement: it can be compiled, some
other Scheme implementations (which are only interpreters) cannot.
