+Guile also offers some more experimental interfaces in a separate
+module. As was the case with the Large Hadron Collider, it is unclear
+to our senior macrologists whether adding these interfaces will result
+in awesomeness or in the destruction of Guile via the creation of a
+singularity. We will preserve their functionality through the 2.0
+series, but we reserve the right to modify them in a future stable
+series, to a more than usual degree.
