It's probably better to make replacement functions that do their
specifics then call the core.

(If there were many semi-independent modules going to do that then
some sort of hook arrangement would be better, but a replacement will
work initially at least.)

load-extension I think, per "A Sample Guile Extension" and "Putting
Extensions into Modules" in the manual.  More indexing in the manual
might help when looking for such stuff.

Cf srfi/srfi-13 and 14, and guile-readline/ice-9/readline.scm.
