Hey hey hey,

I just wanted to get out a quick reply -- I haven't looked at the state
of g-wrap lately, because I've been working on some stuff for guile-lib
(see http://ambient.2y.net/wingo/software/guile-lib/)

But, I did want to mention what these are used for:

A hash keyed by module, with the value being another hash.

The value hash is keyed by symbol name, and the value of that is a list
(proc . args) that, when evaluated (with scm_apply0), should yield the
true binding of the variable.

This creates a module binder proc. This is the core of the latent
variable system.

This makes the entry in the values hash hash.


Clear?
