I'm wondering how I could programmatically get all the values in a Scheme file as an S-expression. From the manual, I know that the REPL has meta keyword ',binding' and ',apropos' which let you search and list all bindings in accessible to a module. These are exactly what I need only, since they're meta-commands, they don't produce Scheme expressions. Does anyone have any pointers? Should I go down the route of,    (open-input-pipe (string-append "guile -l" file "-c ,binding")) ? Seems a little bit baroque to me, I'd expect a simpler way of doing it. Any libraries anyone knows of? Kind regards,  - Christina
