Re: Module reflection and the list of bound symbols

Hello,

Here is what i do, see the attached code [which i copied from
guile-gnome], then you can use it this way, as an example:

1. you define a module b and export some ...

2.

   ;;; file a.scm STARTS here
   (define-module (a)
     :use-module (reexport)  
     :use-module (b))
     :export ... ...

   (eval-when (compile load eval)
     (re-export-public-interface (b)))

   ;; your code here...
   ;; ...
   ;;; file a.scm ENDS here

3.

   finally:

   guile
   scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (a))
   ;; then you can use both public interface from a and b
      

Of course this is true for any module which uses the module a [it can
refers to the public interface of b too...]

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
David

ps:     i have always tought guile itself should provide this feature as 
built-in

reexport.scm
