OK, lets assume we want to get rid of "acros" and "macros".  When should
that happen, and when should the corresponding functions be removed from
guile?  Removing these would change the interface.  According to our
standard procedure, this would mean going through a phase of deprecating
the corresponding functions.  However, this would mean, we could not
actually proceed with working on the evaluator, since as long as those
functions exist (even if deprecated) it is not possible to split up the
evaluator.

Hmm?

Best regards
