Yes, I'm sorry, it hasn't been updated for a while.
Unfortunately I don't have time to look at this now. I'll try to do
that in the next week or two. If you decide to work on it, please let

recasting at runtime [...] also supports writing out recast
code - although perhaps at the cost of losing some formatting
and comments.
A good start! In my mind, the formatting and comments are part
of the essence.

And what about Windows?
Guile 1.4.x is probably not even compilable there, dunno (never
tried, never intend to boot windows to try). However, no worries:
it looks like Neil Jerram DTRT for official Guile.

Hey, good to hear from you.
Yes, this is my bailiwick. For the past few years I've been writing code
transformation tools. The semantic "essence" you mention is usually in what
the industry calls an AST (abstract syntax tree), and in other data (symbol
tables, at a minimum). This is very analogous
