I think this is a very valuable addition to Guile's module system, since it makes it easier to understand what's going on when you look at a module. I find it much easier to look at twenty lines of export, export-syntax and reexport-from-module 'declarations' to understand the interface of a module than having to look through hundreds of lines of code with define-public. I never use define-public for this reason. The only (very minor) gripe I have is that the name 'reexport-from-module' is kind of awkward. How about 'export-from' plain and simple ? David
