> +                                      (json->scheme-file file))

> +                   (ensure-list (load* file (make-user-module '())))))

Actually, perhaps we could have a file handler alist, like:

  `((".json" ,load-json)
    (_ ,(cute load* <> (make-user-module '()))))

That could be shared with (guix scripts package), and ‘load-json’ could
do something that avoids going through a file.

Late feedback, nightly thoughts.  :-)
