It would be nice if Scheme replaced other lisp-like extensions
languages.  Of course, I do not expect this to happen, but it would be
nice.  Some contributors to this news group have suggested that
Scheme's use should be more general.  They point to TeX and PostScript
as examples of extension languages that could benefit from the ideas
in Scheme.  Taking this even further, is there anyone who asserts that
Scheme could be the right extension language for a TeX-like or a
PostScript-like system?  How would you integrate the text with Scheme
code?
