   The latter problem can be fixed by putting the export after the
   definition:

       (define-module (mod2))
       (use-modules (mod1))    ;; Make var1 visible with the name name1
       (define name1 123)      ;; Create var2 with `name1' and store 12 in it.
       (export name1)          ;; Put var2 into the public interface of mod2

   Now `export' sees the local variable var2 and uses it.

   This is not a good fix since it is not common practice to write code
   in that way, and it fails silently when not doing it right.  What's
   worse, whether it fails or not depends on what bindings are visible
   from imported modules, which is not a locally visible thing, usually.

well, this style looks very familiar to me since it's what i use
virtually exclusively.  it's difficult to accurately gauge what is
"common", moreso to base your evaluation on this perception.  better to
be algorithmic than heuristical (he says, heuristically ;-).
