For this kind of error (unbound variable), just typing ‘make’ or C-c C-k
in Geiser reports the unbound variable.

Doing that before pushing is definitely advised.

Sometimes that’s not enough to detect other errors (such as circular
dependencies), but that’s quite unusual.

Yes, I prefer #:select when possible, but otherwise either of these two
prefixes is fine with me.

Thanks,
