Hi!

I wonder why you use said syntax; I'd prefer to use the R5RS symbols
'#:token', also for specifying module options e.g.:

(define-module (foo bar)
  #:use-module (xy))
...

The reason I prefer it this way is (a) according to [0] ':token'
symbols are nonstandard, and (b) '#:token' symbols are used throughout
the Guile manual.

Opions?
