Source-level debugging became more useful, and programmer's and user's
manuals were begun. The module system gained a high-level interface,
which is still used today in more or less the same form.

Guile's arbitrary-precision arithmetic switched to use the GMP
library, and added support for exact rationals. Green threads were
removed in favor of POSIX threads, providing true multiprocessing.
Gettext support was added, and Guile's C API was cleaned up and

@item 2.0 --- thus far, only unstable snapshots available
A virtual machine was added to Guile, along with the associated
compiler and toolchain. Support for locales was added. Running Guile
instances became controllable and debuggable from within Emacs, via
GDS. GDS was backported to 1.8.5. An SRFI-compatible interface to
compiler and toolchain. Support for internationalization was added.
