I am playing with this.  Now reading through system/repl/* and system/vm/* to understand the debugger.

Try

(use-modules (system repl repl))
(use-modules (system repl debug))

(define-syntax-rule (trap-here-0)
  (start-repl
   #:debug (make-debug (stack->vector (make-stack #t)) 0 "trap!" #t)))

(define (foo)
  (let iter ((sum 0) (vals '(1 2 3 5 8 2)))
    (trap-here-0)
    (cond
     ((null? vals) sum)
     (else (iter (+ sum (car vals)) (cdr vals))))))

(foo)

I have added some debugger commands: 
,loc - show current location
,qq - really quit (calls primitive-exit)

scheme@(guile-user) [1]> ,loc
      (let iter ((sum 0) (vals '(1 2 3 5 8 2)))
*       (trap-here-0)
        (cond
scheme@(guile-user) [1]> ,qq
