I don't speak for Tom, but my opinion is that you can use both
interchangeably. Guile is an implementation of Scheme (AFAIK); its
sources are replete with references to Scheme, and many of its
variables/symbols use "scheme" or some shorthand thereof.
More specifically, I would use "Scheme" when talking about variables,
functions, etc., and "guile" when talking about the package and the
library. Other use cases are gray area.

Yes, I think we should use "guile" in this particular use case.
