   If you could ask someone to write a library or package a set of
   functionality for Guile that it doesn't currently have, what
   would it be?

I would ask for an API-upgrade program.  This program would scan
C source to identify API elements that newer Guile no longer
supports and substitute them with equivalent constructs that newer
Guile does support.  It should be able to operate w/o modifying
the original tree, support an interactive repl for human-override,
and keep a database of the override decisions (w/ annotations).
The database should be exportable and have a published access /
modification protocol.
