The define-class/define-method syntax is by default not available for
code evaluated at runtime (since bar.scm is evaluated). Generally,
there aren't many non-standard macros available at code evaluated
explicitly. You should evaluate this once in your compiled file (with eval,
for example):

(require-extension chicken-more-macros)
(require-extension tinyclos)

Also, use get the newest tinyclos egg (1.3). I removed a call to
"register-feature!" that might give a problem in this context.
