Browsing the web, I ran into the documentation of guile's ice-9 infix module:
http://gnuvola.org/software/guile/doc/Reading-Infix.html
Yet there's no such module in the repository.
What happened?

Well, that documentation is for Guile 1.4.x, so you can find
that module where you can find Guile 1.4.x. In other words,
released: http://www.gnuvola.org/software/guile/
wip: http://www.gnuvola.org/wip/ (g14)
At the moment, i'm screwing my courage up to (locally) merge git
repos so that perhaps people can browse 1.4.x features in the
context of official Guile (and vice versa) more easily.

Oh, I finally have my chance to ask:
why was the guile 1.4 fork created?
was there too much software
for that version of guile that would
be difficult to adjust to the trunk?
(or was it __better__ than the 1.6 and 1.8,
that were assigned higher version numbers
to cause the confusion?)
thanks

There was an argument in about May 2005 between Thien-Thi and the
maintainer at the time (Marius Vollmer). It began technically, but
became a bit unpleasant, and Marius felt that he had to revoke
Thien-Thi's ability to commit to the Guile CVS repository.
And so on, from there...
