Wow, interesting. I had seen such things in Nicolas' code (and in LilyPond codebase), but couldn't understand what it was for. > Using module-define! beats primitive-eval.

Well, it depends whether you're referring to developer-oriented documentation or user-oriented. In the latter case, things have greatly improved (and were'nt that bad to begin with). But guile certainly has a long way to go. (In some cases I had to use the MIT-Scheme manual, for more details on some functions. But it's far from convenient.) Have you had a chance to have a look at the patch I suggested? Or should I send it to -devel, or upload it to rietveld (I hope there's no need to, for just a couple of regtests)?
