Where should guile modules store meta data?


one concern is that searching for `load' is regularized when there is a
one-to-one correspondance between module names and dir/dir/file names.

a two-file system, on the other hand, makes it easier to wrap guile
around arbitrary scheme code, and this is a major win, IMHO.

perhaps the load mechanism should adopt the two-file system by
recognizing files w/ extension .scmh either preferentially, or w/ the
understanding that reading ./FILE.scmh means ./FILE.scm should also be
read.

as for module properties, `define-module' should be able to handle
normal object properties, right?
