Jose,

I'm gonna start throwing Geiser ideas your way; no pressure!. Just queue em up for a rainy day! :-)

Today I was working on an R6RS library and an accompanying script. A couple of times when I went to run the script after tweaking it, the Ikarus repl would print a message indicating that a symbol the script was using wasn't exported by the library. So a cool thing for Geiser to offer in that situation is to add the symbol to the export form of the library.

I'm not sure if this would be a Geiser thing or a low-level Ikarus thing, but anyway... something like Factor's auto-use would be nice. I.e. if you enter a symbol into the repl but the library you intended to reference hasn't been imported yet, the system automatically imports it (with notification) *if* there's no ambiguity; i.e. if only one library that the system knows about exports that symbol, then it does the right thing. And if there is an ambiguity, you are asked to indicate which library you meant.
