As I talked with Andy, we may add a feature to list all available languages. And if users add a new language to the %load-path, they may see it listed out. Besides, this feature could be used in 'guild compile' to detect all the language available.
Attached is a proc named 'get-all-available-languages', it'll scan all % load-path and list the union of the languages available. Please review it. If accepted, I'll format a patch into (ice-9 command-line). Thanks!

"."))) str)) (define (get-all-available-languages) (let lp((rest (map (lambda (x) (string-append x "/language")) %load-path)) (result '())) (cond ((null? rest) (apply lset-union string=? result)) (else (let ((ll (scandir (car rest) is-inner-lang?))) (lp (cdr rest) (if ll (cons ll result) result)))))))
