apropos-internal is just what I needed!

Here's some elisp code to add basic Guile support to ilisp, including
symbol completition.

Put the following at the and of ilisp-sch.el:

(defdialect guile "Guile"
  scheme
  (setq ilisp-directory-command "(getcwd)"
	ilisp-set-directory-command "(chdir \"%s\")"
	ilisp-eval-command "%s"
	ilisp-package-command "nil" ; Ugly hack to make M-C-x work
	ilisp-complete-command
	"(map (lambda (sym) (list (symbol->string sym))) (apropos-internal \"^%s\"))"))

(if (not guile-program) (setq guile-program "guile"))

And put this in yout .emacs:

(autoload 'guile    "ilisp" "Inferior Guile." t)
