i'm sure there's a way to globally override the debug/optimization/inlining 
level in guile to make sure the code compiles in a way that no breakpoints are 
missed (and/or backtraces remain more intact, etc).

this should also be added to the documentation, especially in the guix context, 
where it's very much not as trivial as to change a command line argument to 
e.g. start the guix daemon, or shepherd, in a configuration that makes things 
more debuggable.
