Speeding up debugger check (addresses #64)
Soooo, the long delay experienced when evaluating long string lists in Guile had nothing to do with the time took by emacs to read the response from the scheme process; that process is always a breeze, no matter or its format or number of newlines. The delay was provoked by an innocent looking function that scans the received string (which includes a prompt at the end as an EOT marker) to check whether Guile (or any other scheme) has just entered the debugger (that's done inside `geiser-con--connection-update-debugging`). For some reason, `string-match` on that kind of string using Guile's regexp for a debug prompt takes forever. Instead of trying to optimize the regular expression, i've just applied it to the *second* line of the received string, which is the one that contains the response's prompt.
