Indeed, i think it'd be a nice feature for geiser proper.  As you
mention, the dissasembly functionality is even extensible to other
implementations such as Guile.

I think your diagnosis and proposed solutions are on the right track,
and i'm happy to help to either help or review any patch you feel like
submitting (github PRs, for instance), in case you think we should
integrate them in "core geiser".

By the way, what are your thoughts on integrating geiser-scsh in geiser?
Or is geiser-scsh an "add-on" that one could install alongside the other
implementations? If so, you could also maintain it as a separate
package, but in that case it'd be very nice if it were available via an
ELPA repo such as MELPA.

Cheers,
jao
