eval-in-module isn't documented; how does it differ from eval?  (It's
too bad built-in procedures don't have procedure-documentation; that's
something I miss from Python and Emacs.)

This still doesn't define scheme-report-environment.  Is that in a
different module, or is the documentation ahead of the code here?
