To me the stumbling block seems that we need to rewrite some scheme bootstrap 
code to accomodate the new compile/eval model. TeXmacs introduces a custom 
module system which Guile 2 does not like much. I’m not fluent enough to fix 
this. All the rest of the scheme code should not pose big problems. Also on C++ 
side there should not be many changes needed.

Karl, what is the status of your modifications?

Best
Max
