Thank you for your patch!  It is always nice to see people do
intelligent things with the Guile source.

But in this particular case: Doesn't this do the same thing as the
combination of

  (the-environment)

and

  (local-eval EXP ENV)

?

I should add that there has been a lot of controversy about these two,
since some people believe it would be an advantage for future
compilers not to have to support this form of evaluation.
