I had suggested that Marc incorporate pending changes to the bar-line code
if he is confident in them,
but it does seem cleaner make one commit a simple re-implementation of C to
Scheme, with the same functionality.

He is not really throwing out the issue-2533 stuff, because that stuff is
not in the code base at the moment.

You will just have to cooperate with Marc or another Scheme programmer, if
the re-implementation goes in first.  If it really turns out to be harder
for the group to modify the code in Scheme than it was in C, then the reason
for Marc's patch would prove to be wrong and we can just go back to C.
