A quick work-around is to use Guile 2.x, as Jean has reported in
!808...
Is that actually better?  Last time I had contact with Guile-2.x in that
respect, it replaced the argument lists by generic a b c d . That would
be different here?

It would appear that Guile 2.2 mangles the argument
lists when not byte-compiling.

No, I'm not particularly proud of having introduced
code that depends on auto-compilation. Didn't notice.


How many of those do we have?
About a dozen.

One could redefine them manually, giving

check-context-path path . optional-location

or similar.
Could you take care of that?
It would be sort of a crutch.

It's also conveivable that define-safe-public could funnel off the
argument list into the documentation string before it gets replaced:
I remember doing something like that for markup commands since
Guile-2.x did not retain the argument lists.
Sounds promising.  Again, could you take care of that?
I'll take a look at what's happening here.  But again: Guile-2.x is
supposed to be better in that respect?  I find that surprising.


It is better when you use it the way their developers
want you to use it. Error locations are another thing
that is broken without compilation.

Sigh.
