This seems clear to me (I think you mean that there's some guile code
that preprocesses the node graph to optimise it a little, before
evaluating things). I don't see what dead code elimination has to do
with the structure of your program though (it's a guile thing, not a
node graph thing?).

... but I don't see how this follows. The only benefit I see from
ensuring Guile terminates, is freeing a little memory. But since the
Guile is basically used as a fancy configuration language, I don't see
the need. (Except for valgrind memory leak detection.)
