 This seems like it's a hack from ye olden days when we didn't have a
 module system yet, and for example `(require srfi-30)` would otherwise try
 to attempt loading a unit library named srfi-30.

 This is confusing and a bit weird, and also there's `##sys#features` which
 might run out of sync with this features list.

 To make this change, the srfi module registrations should be changed to be
 as part of the `library` unit. For example by changing `register-
 primitive-module` to use `#f` or `'library` as the module library name.

 NOTE: Check what the situation with `chicken.csi` and `chicken.foreign` is
 - can they also use `#f` or `'library`?
