I trust that you mean adding it to the core _distribution_ and that
the plan is to _remove_ much of the current code from the core
libraries (libguile/boot-9.scm) into separate modules in order to
obtain a less bloated core.
Note that Marius and a friend of him are working on a new framework
for dynamic loading which will be cleaner, more portable, and more
efficient than the current one. With this framework having binary
and/or Scheme level modules which are loaded in on demand will work
smoothly.
On my wishlist is a pure R5RS core with as little extra as possible,
but including important infrastructure, such as module system, object
system and thread support.
