Symbol table interrogation


In guile, is there any primitive that permits returning a list of all
interned symbols that match, say, a certain prefix or regular
expression.  (In case it's not obvious, I'm wondering about the
potential for a richer, completion-enhanced interaction between Emacs
and guile [in particular, scwm]).

Are there too many interned symbols to make this useful (w/o especially
long prefixes)?   Do module namespaces throw a monkey-wrench in this
(I'm not sure how the symbol hash table(s) are organized).

Thanks,
Greg
