For the reason given in the comment above this block, we cannot load
these modules at startup.  (Too expensive.)  I suggest you make a little
trampoline that does a module-ref at runtime like eval-string/lang.

This is pretty nasty :)  First of all I would request that you have no
tabs please and stick to the 80-char limit.  But more substantially I
would want a function that returns a list of symbols and calls
lookup-language on them, recursively filtering out any language that is
the target of another compiler.

Also this needs to respect the 80-character width, somehow.

Why is this duplicated here?

Probably we don't need the short option.
