 There are two 'builtins' beyond what GNU Guile provides (all GNU Guile functions
 can be called as commands), namely `get` and `expand`. They're effectively the
 identity commands, i.e. `get` returns the value that was passed into it, and
-`expand` expands a macro as if it didn't exist. These are useful because, again,
-*literally* everythin is a command, so if you want to return a value you can't
-just write `arg` as the last element of a `(begin ...)` or whatever, because
-that value will be interpreted as a command. Same thing with macros.

 Note that `values` is effectively the same thing as `get`, but I think `get` has
 a nicer symmetry with `let`/`set`. `macroexpand` is (maybe somewhat
 surprisingly) not equivalent to `expand`, as `macroexpand` can't handle
