[plt-scheme] Questions on PLT status and project structure

Yes, I can see how calls to sibling module functions can be treated 
specially by
the compiler.  OTOH, in a Haskell article, to paraphrase, "...we're 
talking about
optimizations of higher order function applications; a failure to 
optimize calls to
statically known functions is a gross compiler failure." ;-)  Something 
like that.
I suppose with all function bindings being mutable, Scheme is going to 
have a much
tougher time of it.
