I do not have enough background to judge the other patches, but this one
looks safe and good to me.

If no one sees a problem with that, I can merge, test, and push it, but
I’m no maintainer, so I still need a “looks good to me, feel free to
push” from a proper maintainer.

I can also check whether it makes a performance difference on GNU/Linux
(though I doubt that).

And in general: almost everything that makes the life easier for
Lilypond devs is a win for Guile, too.

Best wishes,
Arne
