Thanks for sharing.

As a reader option, right?

+1

Yes, I’ll look into it.  I’ll also look at other bugs I reported over
the weeks.

Hi Mark,

Two suggestions for 2.0.8:

It'd be great to get Andy's (oop goops save) patch in.
See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2013-01/msg00088.html

Also, Nala's colourised REPL patch is pretty cool; see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2012-12/msg00062.html

Although I have been unexpectedly busy this week, I will certainly be
able to complete this task shortly.
