After a little introspection, I've realized that Minor already has a SRFI-50-like interface implemented --- complete with critical section markers, direct references to heap objects, etc. But it's strictly internal; it's what I built the JNI-like interface on top of. I deliberately chose not to expose that interface, because I felt it would be too error-prone, my users (should there ever be any) would spend too much of their time struggling with it, and I would spend too much time trying to explain it. But when I write up the specification for how to write machine code that interacts properly with the Minor allocator, GC, and thread support, a good portion of that stuff will end up in the public anyway, to provide header files for people generating machine code directly. Hmm.
