You're referring to `scm_makcclo ()' and the likes?

The difference with `scm_closure ()', AIUI, is that a cclo's environment
is a simple C array instead of an alist.  However, I'm under the
impression that code in `eval.c' doesn't know how to deal with a cclo's
environment (e.g., there is no occurrence of `SCM_CCLO_BASE ()').  So,
what makes you think it works?  :-)

Thanks,
Ludovic.
