Right, but it's not packaged.  The user has to copy that into their
program and tweak the bits that matter.  If someone fixes a bug, the
user has to recopy and retweak.

One idea (possibly a dumb one) would be to make a special script
interpreter for writing servers.

    #!/usr/local/bin/guile-server
    !#

    (handle-connection 20004
      (lambda (socket)
        (write (apply + (read socket)) socket)
        (close-port socket)))

or whatever.  Maybe it would be just as effective as a module:

   #!/usr/local/bin/guile -s
   !#
   (use-modules (net quick-server))

   (handle-connection 20004
     (lambda (socket)
       (write (apply + (read socket)) socket)
       (close-port socket)))

   (server-wait)
