Hi Guilers,

since Guile supports alternative language implementations like Wisp it
would be nice if it could interpret files that contain code written in
other languages, without having to specially cater to them.

If GUILE_LOAD_PATH contains a file “foo.wisp” written in Wisp it would
be nice if Guile would automatically read it with the Wisp language.

The same applies to “load”, which only supports Scheme code.

Another idea might be to adopt the “#lang” macro from Racket to inform
Guile about the language that is used in the current file.
