According to both the Guile manual and the output of "guile compile -h":
-L, --load-path=DIR add DIR to the front of the module load path
In other words, it behaves as documented. The idea is that you should
pass multiple --load-path options, one for each DIR.
Having said this, one could reasonably argue that the long option name
is misleading, and I tend to agree. On the other hand, the current
behavior has the advantage of allowing _any_ directory to be added, even
if its name contains a colon, and thus allows the creation of more
robust code.
We might want to change the long option name (while continuing to accept
--load-path for backward compatibility), but I can't think of a good
name. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark
