I see. And what if I tried to compile files that
contained the examples, instead of typing them from
the REPL?

Ah yes, I forgot. So I should use

(require-extension (lib x))

if I remember correctly.

I stopped using require-extension after the "silent
deprecation" of the old (require-ext (path name))
syntax which "broke" siscweb. The new (lib
full/path/name) syntax isn't standardized in an
authoritative document either, so I'm afraid it might
change yet again.

Thanks,
Dan
