Context: When executing code via `guile --language LANG -s', Guile
initialises a module according to the `make-default-environment' field
of the language definition. However, execution of the guile REPL via
`guile --language=LANG' for these languages shows different behaviour:
it uses the `guile-user' environment instead. This means that
(a) builtin bindings in a given language are inaccessible in the REPL
when they were available during script-execution and
(b) scheme bindings are present in the REPL while they weren't
declared to be part of the implemented language's environment.
This patch fixes this behaviour for languages, that do not change the
`make-default-environment' field and are not Scheme. Incidentally,
this means that guile-user is continued to be loaded for `elisp' and
`ecmascript', since for those languages `make-default-environment' is
not overwritten..
* module/ice-9/top-repl.scm (top-repl): Use `make-default-environment'
if it isn't the default value of the language record.
(initial-repl-module) New auxiliary procedure.
