#1615: hidden/gensymed variables are registered for export
---------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Reporter: sjamaan | Owner: sjamaan
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: 5.2
Component: expander | Version: 5.0.0
Resolution: | Keywords: modules, alias-global-hook
Estimated difficulty: easy |
---------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Description changed by sjamaan:
Old description:

New description:
This might cause problems if an interned symbol with the same name is
defined. Find out if this really is a problem.
Also: alias global hook strikes again ;)
Example:
```
(module foo (x123)
(import scheme (chicken syntax))
(define-syntax define-x123
(ir-macro-transformer
(lambda (e i c)
(let ((name (gensym 'x)))
`(define ,name 'blah))))
(define x123 5)
(define-x123) ;; Should not overwrite the interned version of x123, which
happens if both collide on foo#x123!
)
(import foo)
(print x123) ;; Should print 5, not blah
```
Of course this requires some fiddling to get the numbers right, which
would differ per CHICKEN version (a proper test would require reading the
gensym counter to force the collision, or something like that).
