Maybe just a sort of two buffer thing, one for typing in code, with completion and a few niceties that would probably be difficult to add in just an interpreter based readline interface, and a buffer for results from guile. It could also be helpful for people who want to integrate guile with other software, since it would allow a nice interface, without requiring the end user to install emacs. Might be overkill, though, if you just want brace bouncing (which is quite cool, I really liked it in clisp) -- Greg
