address@hidden example

+We can use @code{@@@@} to invoke non-exported procedures. For exported
+procedures, we can simplify this call with the shorthand
address@hidden(@var{module})}:
+
address@hidden
+#!/usr/local/bin/guile \

address@hidden example
+
+For maximum portability, we can instead use the shell to execute
address@hidden with specified command line arguments. Here we need to
+take care to quote the command arguments correctly:

address@hidden
