Agree.

Note that 'guile' has the option too:
" -L DIRECTORY   add DIRECTORY to the front of the module load path"

Well, I send 2 patches about "guix repl":

 1. adding the 'load-path' option;
 2. adding the option '--listen' in the message outputted by '--help'.

Feel free to review and push if everything appear to you correct.

Cheers,
