Hi again,

  I've spent the weekend mucking around that idea of creating a Scheme
compiler targeting Neko, and I've ran into a couple of issues.

  I believe the shortcoming of not being able to define variable
arguments functions has been brought up in the list before. Without
variable arguments, I have to retort to _always_ packing arguments
into arrays. Scheme will always require some handling for variable
arguments functions - namely, to build the rest list -, but that's
internal to the function, not at every call site.

  I was also happily surprised to find out that, using NXML, I can use
any characters I want for identifiers, at least as long as they don't
start with a $. That means no name mangling is needed for Scheme! :)
Now my question is: was this "by design"; am I even "allowed" to use
it?

Thanks,

Nuno Cruces
