Hi Neil :) Though I was not the person to whom the question was addressed, a comment :)

I keep thinking that it should be possible to write some kind of C shim so that Guile could implement the Emacs C "API". That way we keep the existing C code working, we keep the fine-tuned implementations and semantics, and we can move on from "re-implementing" to "implementing" -- e.g. adding to Emacs instead of just reproducing it.
