%load-path is already documented in 2.0, in section 6.22.1, 6.17.6 may be a better place for it though, as that is where e.g. %search-load-path, %load-hook etc. are. %load-compiled-path seems to be only indirectly referred to in the %documentation for GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH and compiled-file-name. > Also, Guile really needs to provide a %search-load-compiled-path and a > load-compiled-from-path, it would have been useful in LilyPond code, and > Manual Section 4.7 (discussing site locations says) I don't see a %search-load-compiled-path or load-compiled-from-path in guile 2.0's stable branch.

If the above is correct, this is just (compose load-compiled compiled-file-name), yes? Might be useful for symmetry with 'load-from-path' -- Ian Price "Programming is like pinball.
