I know you're asking about how to wrap up 2.2, and here
I am to suggest new features. So rude. ;-)
If I had to come up with my own personal lists of features
I'd love to claim for a future release.
* A string encoding that can handle raw bytes
to make Guile more Emacs friendly, as per many e-mails in this
thread.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2017-02/msg00118.html
* Some helper funcs for debugging. For example, I just found
out (after a decade) that Guile comes with its own pk. Also,
a "break REPL here when condition is true" procedure would
be great. I've sometimes rolled my own with ",break acos" and
adding (acos 0.0) for the location in question.
* Fix GDB support.
>From my understanding of Guile internals, the former is
tractable.
