thank you for yarv and for asking our feedback.. emh.. feedforward maybe..

I'd ask:
- what is yarv aiming to optimize? method calls, proc calls, yielding, 
numerical stuff and how much (say, 20 times faster callcc)
- is yarv somewhat similar to something else? (so that I can look up 
documentation of concepts even if you don't explain them yourself widely)
- is the yarv design open to further enhancements? I don't even really 
know what this mean, to be fair :) but I think something like "well, we 
can explore this kind of optimization in the future"
- can yarv support the existing 'infrastructure' stuff like 
set_trace_func, debug.rb and such ?
- is yarv general enough to support something else? (remembering some 
irc chatting about scheme :)
