We had a discussion of this on the #guile irc channel, and I couldn't
find anyone who thought it should be implicit.

Plus we also had a discussion of whether the symbols should have a
builtin prefix, e.g., to avoid collisions like the one with symbol?
that ludo mentions.
E.g., gdb:symbol? instead of symbol?

I couldn't find anyone who advocated for a builtin prefix, and Guile
provides the ability to add one when importing:
(use-modules ((gdb) #:renamer (symbol-prefix-proc 'gdb:)))
