Yeah...  As I mentioned on IRC, I punted temporarily on that while I
was rewriting the parser for my CSS library.  Just yesterday, though,
I started doing some initial work towards adding version information
to modules and the module-use lists.  If we've got that, and we've got
your syncase work, and we're going with some restrictions on loading
multiple versions, then we're pretty close.  (The implementation I did
a few months ago was predicated on the assumption that we didn't want
to modify the core, but since people seem amenable to that, then it's
probably not worth keeping.)

The only major remaining thing is updating the module load system to
handle version, and the only reason we might want to hold off is to
see what happens to that SRFI-100 proposal you pointed me to [1],
which hasn't made it to "draft" status yet.  What do people think?


Regards,
Julian
