note that semantics is not preserved: you do at runtime a check which should be 
performed only once at compile/definition-time. It is not clear that this is a 
wise choice. I would like to understand how to do conditional compilation in 
Guile-2 this is part of the matter. I remember having found something to 
specify that some form has to be evaluated by the compiler at compile time but 
I do not remember exactly right now. Anyway this change seems a bit odd….
