Indeed, I didn't realize I was writing that message in the same time
when Geiser 0.8 was released.

As we are talking about it, there are a couple of workarounds in the
elisp code for the issues that were solved in Geiser 0.8.  So I would
like to get rid of them and mention in the manual that Geiser 0.8 is
required.  Apparently it shouldn't be done right now as it is too fast.
But how long should we wait?  Would a month be enough time, or maybe
wait until the next Geiser release?
