Look at the whole code:

(define fancy-format format)
(define format ergonomic-simple-format)

fancy-format becomes the name for the ice-9 format function.

format becomes the name for ergonomic-simple-format.

Look at scm/lily.scm:
(define-public fancy-format
   format)
 
(define-public (ergonomic-simple-format dest . rest)
  "Like ice-9's @code{format}, but without the memory consumption."
  (if (string? dest)
      (apply simple-format (cons #f (cons dest rest)))
      (apply simple-format (cons dest rest))))
(define format
  ergonomic-simple-format)

So you can see that format is redefined to be simple-format.

HTH,
