bug#40371: [R7RS] Guile does not accept library name parts that are non-negative exact integers

In the concrete case of the SRFI modules, importing e.g. (srfi 9) works
AFAIU.  Does this not work for you?

I think that allowing numbers as module name components, beyond the SRFI
modules, is not currently a good idea for Guile.  I had a look at it and
it's a bit too intrusive.
