the basic interpreter is implemented as a shared library (libguile) in
C.  what is advertized as "guile" (when installed) also includes scheme
modules, one of which is called "boot" and is loaded during interpreter
intialization (see libguile/init.c).

a related topic that you will eventually need to answer is how to
interoperate w/ guile's requirement for capturing `main()'.  (where o
where is the refbot...)

if you remove expectation and finish from cohabitating w/ guile in your
meme-pool, you will sleep better.  :->
