Wow.

As a Scheme-head myself (I'd like to see it taught to every first  
year Computer Science student) I think this would be pretty awesome.  
And guile is nice and easy to embed. I wonder if you'll encounter  
resistance among those unfamiliar with Scheme.

In your proposal I'd document your proposed functions thoroughly and  
give them very descriptive names, and write a number of sample  
scripts for real kinds of scans. Also try and indent your code really  
well so that people aren't confused by the parentheses (everyone  
always complains about the damned parentheses!).
