If I understand the code correctly, guile.init does the same thing,
and in both cases, the purpose is to change any top-level define into
a define-public.

Actually, now that I look, since the slib docs specifically state that
slib:eval will evaluate items in the current top-level environment,
guile.init's use of interaction-environment seems more appropriate.

By the same logic, slib:load shouldn't be using a load path; it should
be a normal load as documented in the slib docs, and as implemented in
guile.init.

I suppose that leaves just the vicinity related definitions in
question.
