Things to hack on?

Hi!

I just wonder what's up next for implementation in Pika; I could
imagine hacking on:

* List primitives from R5RS (section Pairs and Lists). I'd probably
  adapt the implementation from Guile. How should the C API to those
  look like? I imagine something like that:
 
  scm_is_list ()
  scm_list_length ()
  scm_list_reverse ()
  scm_list_append ()

* A hash data type, based on hackerlabs hashtrees (since this is not
  in R5RS, it is probably not high priority). Again, what API? I'd
  like to stay mostly Guile-compatible; see "info: (guile) Hash Table
  reference".

* We need a procedure data type. I think this a bit to Pika-corish for
  me to implement, but if I get an implementation plan, I might try
  it.

Any technology not indistinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
