Hi there,

it occurs to me that my GC still needs a lot of improvements,
e.g. perhaps I should restrict garbage collection to compound data
structures and use retain/release on the rest. (Currently all scheme
objects e.g. including integers are handled by the GC.)

I would encourage people to look at the code and contribute
improvements. The GC is only a few lines of code. I would be very
happy to see it improved. Don't know yet when I'll work on GScheme
again.

Best regards,
