Package: guile
Version: 2.0.7
Severity: minor

Dear maintainer

The REPL prompt option accepts #f, strings, thunks, and procedures of
one argument.  However, only the first two can be set using the
meta-command ,option; one must use repl-option-set! for thunks and
procedures.

It seems that VALUE is not evaluated.

Fixed, thanks for the report.  Now it will always evaluate the RHS.

Note that this changes the behavior of ,on-error and ,compile-options,
but since they are interactive commands, that should be fine.
