There's plenty of things that people can do!  And they definitely
don't have to be in libguile.  (I've been arguing for the last few
days that the most important work right now is actually _outside_, in
the reusable module arena).

You are welcome!  I took a couple days off to have my wisdom teeth
pulled, so I've had an odd combination of free time and poinkillers
for the last couple days.  Your mail got my attention last night, and
I couldn't resist giving it a try.

Please, if you haven't, do try this patch and tell me if you see any
problems with the conversions.  Once you agree that it seems to be
working, I'll clean it up and see if the maintainers want the change.
