Actually, the unit implementation in the paper is not adhering to the
semantics defined by Felleisen. You'll find a version which does
adhere in Oscar Wadell's thesis:
http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~owaddell/papers/thesis.ps.gz
It contains some explanation of the implementation and also
descriptions of the macro system, module system and their object
system.
