If the init actions are limited to %load-path tweaking, then I think a
directory-of-(directories|symlinks) is sufficient. If the init
actions can go beyond that (which will be possible if they are
represented in Scheme files), then I'm not sure I want that to affect
every one of my Guile invocations. I'm glad my shell scripts, Perl
scripts, Python scripts, etc., aren't all forced to load some
site-wide initialization code. Scripts know what they need, and take
care of it themselves. Arbitrary init code is convenient for
interactive interpreters, but I'm wary of establishing it for all
invocations.
