Is it possible to get pretty and precise error messages from Guile? (lemmy.zip)

I got my Emacs setup fully functional and now I'm doing a little bit of hacking on my config files. (Because that's what you do on Christmas eve, when the children has fallen asleep.)

However, even though I use Geiser and fancy rainbow parentheses (plus extra Christmas bling), I run into these stupid invalid specifier errors. And the compiler output is neither pretty nor helpful. It basically gives me a large chunk of unformatted code and says there's an invalid specifier somewhere.

Questions:

Is it possible to make Guile do a pretty print on the error output?

Is it possible to make Guile error messages more precise about the problem?
