     Hi,
     
     I have some scripts and small applications I'm slowly moving over
     to guile.
     One of them features this[0] line at the end which passes results on
     to xargs rm. I picked a start with just (system*) everything I
     had before to learn about the behavior and outcome, and improve
     from this point.
     I know that "|" will not work, so what else could possibly work
     (for starters, in the long run I'll generalize and extend what I
     currently have) to execute this command which deletes every file
     listed in the previous search?
     
     [0]: notmuch search --output=files tag:deleted | xargs -L 1 rm
     

I think you want something like:   .... | xargs -I {} rm {}
