Details:

In modules that don't have `@' in their namespace, Geiser breaks completely
(from the "*geiser messages*" buffer):

----8<-----
INFO: <1496648528414750170>: ((@ (geiser emacs) ge:compile) (quote ((@
(geiser emacs) ge:auto
INFO: <1860764971612565070>: ((@ (geiser emacs) ge:compile) (quote ((@
(geiser emacs) ge:autodoc) (quote (library)))) (quote (spells foreign
compat)))

INFO: RETORT: ((error (key . geiser-debugger)) (output . "ERROR: In procedure
module-lookup:
ERROR: Unbound variable: @

Entering a new prompt.  Type `,bt' for a backtrace or `,q' to continue.
"))

INFO: <1860764971612565070>: processed
----8<----

One way to resolve this (as discussed on IRC), would be to add a meta-command
to Guile (perhaps this is possible without modifying Guile itself), which
allows to invoke a procedure inside a module, thus doing away with the
requirement that `@' is available in all modules.

The command could look like this:

,eval (my module) my-expression

See "module/system/repl/command.scm" in the Guile source for how
meta-commands are defined.
