I don't do that, so thats probably not necessary. Wy not put your  
code on lang/scheme so we can all see it?

parsing is a great language parser generator, and probably has  
everything a scheme interpreter will need.

I am pickling the tree only if running on top of CPython, because  
RPython don't support that. And even then, it is really just a hack  
because parsing took a lot of time running on top of cpython. Iam  
going to give you the same advice I got from armin when I started...  
begin with AST and then when you have your parser ready we can see if  
using bytecode really get you faster.
