The reasoning was, if I remember correctly, that making
scm_module_lookup issue the error message will make that error message
more uniform and it will also make it easier for people to use
scm_module_lookup correctly in the 'usual' situation.

We can have a second function thta behaves differently.  That function
should also be able to return non-variables (like the mythical macro
transformers).
