Peter Bex scripsit:

Yes.  As a matter of style, that's meant to be used in situations like
this:

(define library (foo)
  ...
  (cond-expand
    ((library (scheme complex))
     (import (only (scheme complex) real-part imag-part))
    (else
     (begin
       (define (real-part z) z)
       (define (imag-part z) 0))))
  ...)

But it does not support separate compilation of those files.  As I said
before, I personally don't consider that a severe limitation.
