I'm wondering... Currently when switching environments from guile to
guile-next and back, I found that I need to unset
GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH; otherwise it gets appended to and that breaks.

Why is the `2.0' and `2.2' part of the GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH?  If
guile would always append that (or also look in the directory with
MAJOR.MINOR appended), i.e. something like

     lib/guile/ccache       # GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH
     lib/guile/ccache/2.0   # guile-2.0 appends 2.0
     lib/guile/ccache/2.2   # guile-2.2 appends 2.2       

wouldn't that help a lot with picking up the right .go files when
running different versions of guile?

Greetings, Jan
