Perhaps rather implement this as a separate, “advanced” interface. Think: ipython vs. python. Most of the existing repl module would be reusable for such a task. There are benefits to keeping the official package, shell, repl, interface, whatsit free of unnecessary features. Such simplicity aids in debugging, and facilitates a clear definition of language semantics, compatibility, portability, extension, etc.. Also, are you aware of the multiple existing packages that provide provide a Guile REPL with syntax highlighting (and *much* more)?. Try Geiser [1] or Quack [2], both of which run inside emacs and provide integration between file and repl buffers (i.e. run expressions directly from file buffers).
