   Does anyone have a Scheme version of pretty-print?  That is,
   something like

     > (pprint '(foo-foo-foo (bar-bar-bar (baz-baz-baz))))
     (foo-foo-foo
       (bar-bar-bar
         (baz-baz-baz)))

slib has pretty-print.scm, and a format.scm that requires it.  because
guile module (ice-9 format) is an adaptation of slib's format.scm, the
`require' form is still present.  this means that you can try to use
(ice-9 format) but will probably get an error unless slib is already
loaded in the session.  looks like the (ice-9 format) i have is still
buggy -- see session log below -- it's module definition needs to be
changed to:

(define-module (ice-9 format)
  :use-module (ice-9 slib))
