WEIRD.
Okay I've been tracing things on Guile 2.0... The use-modules syntax expands down to process-use-modules. This is in (ice-9 boot-9) process-use-modules invokes resolve-interface, which invokes resolve-module, which invokes try-load-module, which invokes try-module-autoload. try-module-autoload then invokes down into primitive-load-path. primitive-load-path is predefined in C, in libguile/load.c . On 2.0, it has this complicated set of tests, which boil down to "try to compile the code and load it if compilation fails, but only if autocompiling is set". Apparently, this process of compilation will invoke our replaced primitive-load. The *other* branch (the part where it doesn't compile the Scheme code) then calls into the C function scm_primitive_load(), Not the Scheme variable primitive-load, the one we took pains to modify. Sigh. I could try to duplicate what primitive-load-path does in Scheme, but the C code on 2.0 is long, boring, and looks like it uses a few things inaccessible in Scheme. Sigh. I'll sneak a look at 1.6 and 1.8, but I suspect primitive-load-path calls through the primitive-load variable rather than directly calling into the C code.
