"Magic" Variables?

Is there any way in Guile to have special code executed whenever a
particular variable is set? I'm pretty sure there isn't, but I wanted
to make sure.

Such a thing would be useful for avoiding a lot of ad-hoc setter
procedures in guile-based configuration languages where some immediate
effect should take place when certain options are set, and for
implementing tcl variable traces for a possible future tcl translator.
