OK.  I'm going to restructure script.scm, keeping this in mind.  Two
questions, though:

  1) Should top-repl be an exported function?  i.e. is it intended for
     general use?

  2) What things do you already have in mind that shouldn't be in the
     "script environment" guile-user vs the "interactive environment"
     guile-user?  (ice-9 threads) is one.  What else?
