I mentioned this problem to a lisp-compiler-hacker friend of mine and he said
guile is a "disaster"!
Embedding a lisp such as ECLs or GCL may provide more efficiency and power,
especially if we'd like to move as much as possible into a lisp-ish language.
If we need to stick to a flavour of scheme, then mzscheme (or rscheme, as
suggested here) could also be considered.
