To some degree this is already the case for interactive mode (so this is not really my idea, just an application of what’s already there). We might need an option to suppress loading the default modules, though, similar to the -Q in emacs (which I use to make it start faster when I just need basic editing capabilities). However I think removing things from the existing default behaviour should never be automatic, otherwise people won’t be able to rely on the Guile on another system behaving as expected.
