Agreed.  Guile 2.2's compiler might be able to do this, with some
modification -- take a closure and tree-shake out its dependencies,
packaged into an ELF image.  Similar to save-lisp-and-die in some ways.
But that's a bit expensive to do; there should probably be a way of
doing it at compile-time instead of at run-time.
