There are three options.

  * Run a special console REPL that integrates with the main loop.  See
    glib/gnome/gobject/event-repl.scm and glib/gnome/glib.scm in the
    guile-gnome-platform distribution.

  * Run a special graphical REPL with a soft port that runs the main
    loop.  See gtk/examples/repl.scm in the guile-gnome-platform
    distribution.

  * Run the normal REPL in a separate thread.  We don't make this very
    easy, currently, but it is possible to do:
