Hello!

Ricardo Wurmus <rekado <at> elephly.net> skribis:

> +                 (let ((file (or (and (string-suffix? ".json" file)
> +                                      (json->scheme-file file))
> +                                 file)))
> +                   (ensure-list (load* file (make-user-module '())))))

It would be nice if we could avoid writing to a file and then reading it
back, perhaps by having a variant of ‘load*’ that takes an sexp instead
of a file name.  (That could also allow us to improve error reporting
because we could attach source properties to the sexp that match the
original JSON file.)
