I don't have one ready, but I do very much want to have one before
1.8.  I need to decide for myself whether I would want to go for full
concurrency or for restricting us to a one-thread-at-a-time model.

Full concurrency is not a nice-model to program for,
one-thread-at-a-time wont be able to take advantage of multiple
processors.

In my view, it doesn't make much sense to talk about 'the interpreter'
in the context of Guile.  Our 'interpreter' is just the function eval.

What would separate interpreters mean?  Separate heaps?
