No, it doesn't; that would be a nice feature.  And perhaps
complemented by a super-convenient way to extend the load path of the
guile process.

You mentioned the bugs on gna.org, but did you try looking at the
tasks as well?  I think the tasks would be much more suitable for a
SoC project, if any of them interest you.  If you would like me to add
to any of the task descriptions, to explain more what I have in mind,
please let me know.

Please also feel free to suggest more of your own ideas too, of
course.
