I guess I was confused.  A simple example confirms what the manual
explains:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guild compile t.scm
wrote `/home/ludo/.cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/home/ludo/src/guix/t.scm=
.go'
$ guile t.scm
$ cat t.scm
(define (foo)
  (@ (asdfasdfa) sdfsf))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Oh, right, I had overlooked that.

So yes, you can go ahead with your initial approach.

Thanks, and sorry for the confusion!
