Hmm.  It appears there isn't a 'traps option to debug-enable.  And
though my profiler seemed to be working interactively.  I've found
that it won't work from a script without an enclosing with-traps.

Is that just a guile limitation?  I've tried various combinations of
(debug-enable ...) and (trap-enable ...) with various options and none
of them seem to work from a script unless I add a with-traps after a
call to (debug-enable 'debug).

I was hoping not to have to have the profiler take over the top level
(preferring a more in-line approach), but if that's not feasible, then
I can modify the API.

Thanks
