I actually tried this without much success, but I might still have been missing
something.

Just tried this, and it worked great, thanks! I was having a little trouble
getting the `scheme_eval` variant that constructed a `dynamic-require` form
manually to work correctly, so knowing about `scheme_dynamic_require` is
helpful.

One more thing: in terms of repeatedly executing scripts, does it make sense to
set up and tear down the interpreter every time? Or just swap in a fresh
namespace?
