Hi,
I was hacking on Dorodango today, in a script that happened to have a
Guile-style (define-module ...) block, and I was importing pieces of an
rnrs library. Then I needed to update the import set to provide what
was needed. In the middle of making a keyboard macro to add
#:use-module before the library names, I realized that `library' is
actually a lot better in this regard, in that you just have one `import'
block, and all the libraries are listed there without having a prefix on
each one.
So what do you all think about:
(define-module (foo)
#:import ((bar)
(only (baz) qux foo)
...))
Or even:
(define-module (foo)
(import (bar)
(only (baz) qux foo)
...))
We would continue to support the #:use-module syntax indefinitely, of
course.
It looks like the upcoming R7RS standard will support these import specs
in the same way as the r6rs, though without version specifiers
(thankfully).
