I fail to see how this follows from Guile’s lack of a macro stepper. To
be honest, I never even heard of a macro stepper before. And I have
never felt the need to read computer science papers to “know my way
around Guile”. (I have not studied computer science, so it isn’t that
my background allowed me to skip papers that are mandatory for other
users of Guile.)
The sentence above seems like an exaggeration to me.
(I say this with no hostility, just with surprise.)

The Guix manual should explain it fully, while assuming that the concept
of a monad is known (because that’s not a Guix or Guile invention). If
it fails to do that then the Guix manual should be updated.
