as regards having compiled code go faster, (this brash young hothead) thinks 
that what scheme has is LEXICAL SCOPING (i think this allows you to
generate the addressing sequence for a free variable at lambda-expr-eval-time
(i was gonna say "compile-time") and sometimes avoid run-time-type-ck cause you
can do the type-ck at "compile-time")
