interesting.

this, or mere printing the error line context or just filename /
linenumber should be possible with guile, but are you still
considering switching to something else?

actually, if it has to remain scheme, the main missing feature from my
pov is a compiler available at run time. plt family has such compiler
(to bytecode, as well as a standalone compiler to native code via C),
but i'm not sure if their license is GPL compatible. also i believe
they have fast math (but guile 1.8 has it too i think).
