Well, they'll have to if they want to write rules, since there is no
S-expression version of rules.

I suppose we could bit-by-bit replace the entire Q-in-C system with
a Q-in-Scheme system, compiler, interpreter, user program and all.
It wouldn't need its own garbage collector any more, and would
probably be much easier to maintain -- provided the maintainer
knows Scheme.  I'd think the performance would be about as good.

Chicken doesn't do native threads, though, only call/cc based ones.
