The srfi-N names won't be the only names for these packages. The
srfi-0 (i.e. cond-expand) docs state that it's expected that a future
srfi will add "common names" to srfi-0, so you'll be able to say:
(cond-expand
(lists-srfi ...))
or whatever. It would be natural to use these same names to name the
guile modules.
(cond-expand
(guile (use-modules (srfi lists))))
