Hi Guixers,
Just wanted to share this backtrace I got when trying to use the chicken
importer:
```
λ guix import egg srfi-1
Backtrace:
In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
1752:10 10 (with-exception-handler _ _ #:unwind? _ # _)

```
Here' another:
```
λ guix import egg srfi-11

Should a condition or exception be added for handling these cases?
all best,
