Personally, I would still use a 'long' name, and perhaps guile-do [which for
backward compat. could be a symlink to guile-tools].

I am saying this because as a user, I type guile and hit tab to know 'what's
available' ... [I know you will argue that I should know better what guile 
provides
in terms of scripts, but this way at least i gives me all possibilities, which 
I may
study [later] ...]

        [besides, anyone can create its own and preferred short name as a link 
to
        the distributed script]

Cheers,
David
