While attempting to learn what I could do with guild, I stumbled on the following:

guild help
Usage: guild COMMAND [ARGS]
Run command-line scripts provided by GNU Guile and related programs.

[...]

Report guild bugs to bug-guile <at> gnu.org
GNU Guile home page: <http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/>
General help using GNU software: <http://www.gnu.org/gethelp/>
For complete documentation, run: info guile 'Using Guile Tools'

Running 'info guile 'Using Guile Tools' brings us to the top of the
Guile Reference Manual with the following warning in the mini-buffer:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
No menu item 'Using Guile Tools' in node '(guile.info.gz)Top'.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Apparently, there *is* a node 'Using Guile Tools', but its reference
in the help should read as

    info '(guile)Using Guile Tools'

instead of

    info guile 'Using Guile Tools'

Patch attached.
