Hehe; yes, it certainly is a `mixed blessing' to have so many
contributions to Guile as we have at the moment. I have my doubts too
about being able to review everything effectively, and I apologise to
people (Daniel, Mark, Julian, ...) who have to wait a long time for a
response, and may wonder if their patch has fallen into a black
hole...
But that said, I'm sure that I wouldn't have things any other way.
Guile has never stood still, during the 10 years that I've been a bit
involved, but I don't think it's ever had quite the buzz that it seems
to have at the moment.
Also, refactoring is worthwhile. I don't have details ready to prove
it, but I'm sure that a lot of our recent work has benefitted greatly
(if unknowingly) from cleanups and refactoring that Marius did (IIRC,
affecting symbols, modules and vectors) in the run up to 1.8.
Regards,
Neil
