Guile-1.8 already compiles Scheme code.  Guile-2.0 has a virtual machine
and does byte compilation for that into separate files.  Guile-2.2 has a
different virtual machine.  I've not kept track of what happened since
then.  There may have been experiments with JIT compilation and/or
machine code but I don't really know.
