Ah, I thought it was expected. :-)  Well, my ~/.guile looks like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules
 (ice-9 readline)
 (ice-9 format)
 (ice-9 pretty-print)

 (guix)
 (gnu packages)
 (gnu packages base))
(activate-readline)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

so it avoids me this kind of annoyance.

Well, do we open another ticket or just retitle this one?

Cheers,
simon
