   Stubber looks very cool! Like the GObject introspection library but with
   Scheme instead of specially-formatted C comments. Much nicer. Too bad you
   don't have time. I for one would like to see more come of this.

Do I hear a volunteer?

Unfortunately, the syntax crap is an unbelievably mega-kludgerific
enormous pile of hair -- I don't think it can be expressed more nicely
without some help in Scheme48's macro engine, although I don't
remember any details.  And fitting it into a coherent build system is
quite another problem...  But I think the basic idea of the language
is sound.  If you do want to pick it up, feel free to ask me questions
about the intent, a great deal of which has not been explicated (and
which is excruciatingly easy to get wrong).
