I remember an ML post where Marc said that, presuming you don't use eval, Gambit's Scheme codebase can be tree-shaked too.

Well just removing unneeded parts of Gambit's core ought to be straightforward enough too; afaik actually *all* of the runtime can be removed and you still have a running system, though I suppose such a system would be of little use.

The tree shaker seems to work during compilation, not linking. It
doesn't avoid bringing all of Gambit-C into your executable.
