Re: defining module from macro

It turns out that the error appears even without a
macro; the following loads but doesn't sc-compile:

(begin
  (module tmpmod (tmp)
    (define (tmp) 1))
  (module mod (f)
    (import tmpmod)
    (define (f x) x)))

Surely this is not a feature... It does compile in
chicken, for instance.

On another note, is there a macroexpand function that
doesn't insert random annotation stuff (so not
sc-expand)? If there isn't, please add one. With all
the problems that Scheme macros have (see my earlier
question about meta and psyntax v. 6.9c), at least a
two-pass compilation procedure (first expand, then
compile) might be viable.
