  Yes.  I am not sure whether it is good to single out /usr/local, tho.
  There might be any number of directories that people could reasonable
  expect to be in the load path, such as /opt/<package>/guile for a
  Guile using <package>.

Perhaps it would be good to articulate what ought to work that doesn't
now.  The only thing I see is a way to install guile in one prefix, a
module in another, and then to somehow configure that second prefix's
share/guile to be searched by default by use-modules, load etc.

One could also want some code in the new module to be run for any
invocation of guile, but it's not clear that's a good idea as it more
or less violates the basic language definition and the provided
definition of that's in the (guile user) module.
