Our plan is to link this library into all GNU programs that call for extensibility. Libraries that provide an interpreter for extensibility are not new. Scheme is also simpler and cleaner than other extension languages such as Perl and Python. This is because Scheme is powerful enough that other languages can conveniently be translated into it. We have already implemented one translator, CTAX, which understands simple C-like language.
Users can write their own translators for their other languages, too.
