Personally I would think that having Guile guess by extension would be the, in most cases, most reliable. Otherwise there could be problems loading several files in different languages etc.
I would think that one of the best solution would be to have a switch to execute arbitrary commands such as ,L so you would call guile with `guile --switch ",L elisp"`. The separate executables could then be done as aliases if one wanted.
