   (Or maybe I just overlooked something, and they are already
   available?)

Check out ‘(ice-9 session) apropos’ to see what it does.  In Guile 1.4,
one of its subroutines:

(define apropos-fold-exported
  (make-fold-modules root-modules submodules
                     (lambda (fob)
                       (fob-info fob #:public-interface))))

uses ‘fob-info ... #:public-interface’, which was the result of long
past (but still memorably pleasant) "separation of concerns" hacking
(see <http://www.gnuvola.org/software/guile/doc/Module-Monkey.html>).
Anyway, the important bit is that "public-interface" derives from the
procedure ‘module-public-interface’, present in other Guile versions.

Probably you want to explore the ancestor of ‘fob-info ... #:obarray’,
instead, to access the full set of bindings (not just public), but i
didn't mention that because the code that uses it in Guile 1.4 ‘(ice-9
session)’ is long and the Guile module system is somewhat of a rats nest
[insert maniacal laughter, here :-D]...  Same thinking applies, however.
