If my module a needs guile-json-1,
module b needs guile-json-4, they cannot be used by the same guile.
Also, if a pam module is broken, I don't want all pam modules to be broken.

For example, I use hoot to compile the code to wasm, and load and
interpret the wasm in pam-guile. If I don't need to access the file, I
don't need the ability to read the file.

I think it is possible to use gexp's with-extensions,
with-imported-modules, etc., instead of adding a guile-inputs option.
