I don't yet know what this means in detail, because I've never looked
at how hippie works. I'll take a look soonish, but if you happened to
work it out for me first I shouldn't mind!

I completely agree as regards reloading, and I'm sure from my own
experience that it is a frequently useful usage pattern.
The implementation is just "load the relevant file", I believe; the
only slightly tricky part is working out the most convenient possible
interface.
I'm not sure about unloading. I don't recall ever wanting to do it in
practice, and I'm not sure Guile has any way of achieving it.

Neil
