Hey Mike,

Thanks for working on this!

Truth be told, my motivation in writing is that I've gotten pretty
deep into a Guile-2.0 application server of sorts -- for which I'd
really like to use Serveez -- and can't wait to get ahold of a
compatible build of Serveez.

Well, like I've said, I don't know much about Serveez.  But if the
goal is to support both Guile 1.8.x and Guile 2.0.x (is it?) then
wouldn't you want to preserve the existing binary type, since
bytevectors are a 2.0.x-only feature?  The conversion approach you
suggested at the end of your earlier email [0] seems reasonable in the
abstract.

Julian
