It should, as it used to do, but in 2.2.3 I pushed a =E2=80=9Cfix=E2=80=9D =
for
=E2=80=98%fresh-auto-compile=E2=80=99 that turned out to be misguided: it w=
ould now
force a fresh-auto-compile of everything, including files for which we
have a .go not in ~/.cache but in some other $GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH
entry.

See
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/commit/?h=3Dstable-2.2&id=3D83=
d4c4d622b406ec0bc9d8139ec8182fa72b5720>.

I think we should revert it and publish 2.2.4 soon.

Thoughts?
