I like your proposal a lot. However, I am not sure about export-all. I
had thought this was just meant as an example when you explained your
proposal. Is it a good idea to have such a form? IMO, it is cleaner to
state explicitly what gets exported.

I am not sure whether this is portable among systems, but I think it
should also be possible to store guile stuff in some subdirectory of
/usr/lib, say /usr/lib/guile. You load it with:
(dynamic-link "guile/<some-lib>.so")
With your proposal, we don't need to make this a policy, since the
corresponding scheme level loader can use any file name and location
anyway. Making it a policy (assuming that is is portable), however,
can be convenient, for example if we add a line -L/usr/lib/guile to the
output of 'guile-config link'.
