To avoid the +(and other operators) redefinition problem we could add an optional directive to the interpreter promising that, from now on, we won't redefine basic operators. As an example:

(promise 'no-redef)

This would let the interpreter/compiler do the optimizations.

Good idea. Not perfect as you have to annotate your code to get performance (but after all CL and GambitC Scheme work this way), but this could be tried...
