The repl still uses the low-level macro system.
Entering "(require-extension syntax-case)" and
"(import mod1)" in the repl should work.

(you can also say "(require 'syntax-case)" in x.scm,
which will load the syntax-case extension at run-time,
sth like "(eval '(import mod1))" will make it available
right away in any subsequently eval'd code, like from
the repl).
