Attached is a patch that adds a command-line switch --silence-auto-compile which disables all diagnostics about auto-compilation except when the auto-compilation of a file fails. This can be used the following way in a script: #!/usr/bin/guile \ --silence-auto-compile --any --other --switches -s !# See: https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/The-Meta-Switch.html -- Taylan
