   But Scheme is not a scripting language; it is a full, general-purpose
   programming language.  If the GNU extension language will be Scheme,
   then why not call it Scheme?  Given that we already have Emacs-Lisp,
   something like GNU-Scheme would be a logical choice.

But that's neither catchy, nor funny, and, therefore, impractical. ;-)
