Of course.  I was hoping for an environment variable which would need to
be set, something like GUILE_ERROR_TIMESTAMPS_ON.

Guile is my web application scripting language of choice.  As a result,
I have dozens of scripts that can be called at any given moment and any
Guile errors appear in my webserver's error log.  If Guile errors
included a timestamp, I'd be able to tell which page, and therefore
which script, caused the error, by conslting the access logs (which
already include timestamp information).

I can of course configure my webserver so that it writes one log per
domain, which will help, but error timestamps would be the ultimate
solution.
