Man, that digression into unexec reminds me of how ugly Emacs is under the covers. I do really appreciate having elisp available to creatively enhance my editor but... ugh.

So then comes the perennial reminder of Guile/Emacs. There'd be no unexec (in theory) and while this appears to be design-intent from a Common Lisp, maybe it could be cleaned up in bytecode. The last Guile/Emacs push was, I think, a Google SoC project with some community followup from someone who knows far more about Emacs and Lisp than I. Guile 2.2 is out and is really sweet (fast, feels modern, kind of exciting). I wonder if it's time for another push to completion? Has anyone gave the experimental branch a spin lately?
