Indeed. And, no, I don't think it is a lot of work at all. We should have
an easy way to create module aliases, rename it, setup ice-9 as an alias
and deprecate it.
But, I wonder if "guile" is the right name? Does that mean that the other
sibling directories, like "language", "oop" and "sxml" is *not* guile?
Perhaps "base" or "core" are good alternatives?
