   Is there an elegant way of imitating awk functionality (not syntax) based on
   guile's built-in string-fun and regex modules?
   There is an awk imitation for r4rs on the repository which uses its own
   string manipulation functions, but I'm not sure about the licensing 
   conditions (that's a problem with a lot of the repository stuff), and using 
   guile-builtins might preserve performance too.

I think the scsh has all the functions to do it.  I don't know about
the guile port of scsh, but I don't see why that part shouldn't be
there.
