Oh, well, if it's nice and close then at least people familiar with
the C style will find the guile interface comfortingly similar. Or
vice versa even.

Perhaps make the gerror parameter optional, if omitted an error is
thrown. Or a special value 'error or something to mean that.
That could allow a choice between programming in typical glib style
(check return values) or more typical guile style (file i/o throws
exceptions).
