I think we should certainly support this technique, but I don't think
it should be the `usual' way to use Guile. If I understand you right,
you are thinking about having a quick way to `use' all modules in a
certain directory so that one doesn't have to worry about from what
module a certain definition comes. This feels like a `lazy hack' that
actually works against the module system, I'd say, and is not
something I would want to pitch to newbies.
When it feels better to simply lump together the individual modules of
a certain codebase instead of following the separations layed out by
the original authors, then there is probably something wrong with the
codebase itself.
