Does the eval-when example work?

[Vivien Kraus <vivien@planete-kraus.eu>]

Dear guile users,

The manual, section 6.8.8, presents the eval-when form with an example:

(use-modules (srfi srfi-19))
(eval-when (expand load eval)
  (define (date) (date->string (current-date))))
(define-syntax %date (identifier-syntax (date)))
(define *compilation-date* %date)

I take the liberty to add:

(display *compilation-date*)
(newline)

Now, when I save to test.scm and run guile -s test.scm, it gets
compiled and it displays the current date. However, if I run this
command a second time, the file is not recompiled, but the compilation
date changes. Is it intended?

If so, this is not exactly what I am looking for. I am looking for a
way to run the (date) form during the compilation phase, and save the
date to the compilation unit so that it does not change. Is this
possible?

Best regards,

Vivien
