Yep.  Rob worked on that, or on slib.scm loading guile.init at least.
He checked-in an slib.scm along those lines into the 1.6 branch,

    
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/guile/guile-core/ice-9/slib.scm?revision=1.32.2.10&root=guile&view=markup&pathrev=branch_release-1-6

I'm not certain if it covers every possibility, but it does mean current
and future slib has a good chance of working.  (I've only really nosed
around this stuff lately to let my lint program work with it.)

That might be what I meant.  Slib seems well setup to turn the top level
of any scheme into a more or less uniform slib environment, it's not
clear it tries to know much about modules (in guile or any other
scheme).
