See

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
,help debug
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

from the Guile REPL.
In particular

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
,break PROCEDURE
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

should do what you want.

`memoize' takes a procedure as argument, not an arbitrary expression.
For instance in the following

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(let ((mfoo (memoize foo)))
  (mfoo 17)
  (mfoo 17))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

`foo' will be called only once.

You don't have to use `memoize' though, you can also store the value you
want in a local variable and check if it's set or not.  We can always
refine the code later.
