I'm not convinced. How can people be expecting debugging to be turned
on after having explicitly said `(debug-disable 'debug)' in their
.guile file? Also note that the fix only affects REPL usage, not
programs run using `guile -s'.
If you are concerned about `trace' not working, we could add
`(debug-disable 'debug)' into the definition of `trace'.
I'd say it's a bug, and that it would be better to squash it now than
to support strange expectations through 1.6.x.
