For now, in commit 92423868bc451600f8f3d93b638091d12b14b7aa, I=E2=80=99ve
arranged so that auto-compilation is turned off for Guile 2.2.3 only.

At the same time, I reverted the offending change in Guile, and
hopefully we=E2=80=99ll release 2.2.4 shortly:

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D29226#25

I=E2=80=99m not sure we can do much better for 2.2.3, or perhaps we should
always use (compile-file file #:to 'value) in =E2=80=98load*=E2=80=99?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
