The main goal for a script is to be consistent so that you can forget about it (once debugged). Known state helps consistency. If the script wants to be environmentally dependent, it can do so explicitly. The main goal for a REPL is to be interactive, and so one can view ~/.guile as part of that interactivity. Emacs' "-q" option as suggested would be fine. Really, with the latest guile-core snapshot supporting the above described behavior, this issue seems to be solved already. The only tension arises when debugging scripts. The developer must either put magic in ~/.guile or remember to use "guile -q". That's not too hard. thi
