Any comment?
For this particular case, you can use instead ‘getcwd’, which
is builtin. See also ‘shell-command->string’ and friends:
http://www.gnuvola.org/software/ttn-do/ttn-do.html.gz
Tangentially, Guile 1.4.x has "guile-tools gxsed", a sed
implementation in Scheme:
http://www.gnuvola.org/software/guile/doc/guile_002dtools-gxsed.html
It needs some work to be compatible w/ Guile 1.8 and 2.0
(i.e., to use 2-arg ‘eval’), but the core transform is sound.
IIRC it PASSed around 60% of the GNU sed 4.2 "make check".
For Emacsoid in-process editing, see also module (ttn-do mogrify),
also in ttn-do. I (and my daemons) use it every day w/ Guile 1.8.
