I am in the process of rewriting in Guile a script that I use regularly. Running Guile 3.0.9, when I execute a file containing
#!/usr/local/bin/guile -s !# (display "Hello, mailing list!") (newline) the following is printed to standard error: ;;; note: source file /Users/me/./test.scm ;;; newer than compiled /Users/me/.cache/guile/ccache/3.0-LE-8-4.6/Users/me/test.scm.go ;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 ;;; or pass the --no-auto-compile argument to disable. ;;; compiling /Users/me/./test.scm ;;; compiled /Users/me/.cache/guile/ccache/3.0-LE-8-4.6/Users/me/test.scm.go While not showstopping, it would be preferable if there were a way to suppress the message. This has been mentioned here and in other venues previously [1][2][3], but the last mention was over 10 years ago and perusal of the Guile manual suggests nothing toward this end has been implemented yet. Would adding a --quiet switch cause breakage?
