Hi David,

Thanks for the patch. I'm just trying to understand: Why do we need a
JSON module in guile itself? Isn't guile-json, the way it is as an
external library, good enough?

guile-json does not use hash tables. guile-json uses association lists.
I believe the decision to use hash tables was reversed many years ago.

Cheers!
Arun
