guile-config --version gives me 2.0.13

If the problem is in guile rather than in the new code for TeXmacs, the 
solution "should be" to update guile to the new version *but* this is 
the version I get from the Ubuntu repositories for 18.04 LTS (and so 
that people running Ubuntu 18.04 have).

However I can try to compile and run with Guile 2.2 as well, as it is an 
alternative in the repository. I have to figure out how to change it 
without breaking other programs, intuitively it is possible, but I need 
a bit of time.
