Initial Comment:
I like SISC a lot but still use Jython for the lack of
following features.

i) the type conversion between java types and scheme
types should be automatic for the basic types like
bool, int, string, .... For other types the conversion
should be defined/ declared once like in bigloo module
declaration.

ii) importing a class should automatically import its
methods as generic procedures.

iii) java beans should be usable like clos objects with
constructor initialization of slots, and getter and
setter methods invoked on using and setting of slot values.

I think the above requires changes to the core of SISC
but it will go a long way in making SISC usable not
just a portable R5RS scheme environment but also one of
the best for interacting with Java libraries.
