Jon,

You may well be right.  Although my initial thought was to see it as
more natural to run guile within an editor (or some kind of IDE, more
generally), having the other way round available as well could be very
useful.  For example when one only has a terminal to work with.

I think a key question is what would you want to write out?  Would it
be a verbatim transcript of what was typed in, or would it be somehow
"improved" - e.g. by eliminating previous definitions of the same name
and/or trivial non-definitions?  Possibly even pretty-printed?

Regards,
        Neil
