I continually resist the impulse to get distracted by writing a good
standalone "guile.el", and would be delighted if someone else did. :)

I'm currently using a combination of "scheme.el", ILISP (a particular
version from CVS, which I've been afraid to update), and the below
kludgey ".emacs" code.  This combination gives a good indenting and
fontifying file editor and a REPL buffer.

I'd *like* a better eval interface from the file editor, a simple
backtrace-buffer debugger (triggered on error from the inferior
process), an edebug-like stepper... :)
