Thanks for the patch; I applied it for version 1.0.1.11.
Notice that you may create an account on Savannah,
so that you can submit patches directly to the patch manager.

Yes, but since the size of the guile code is starting to grow
more and more, and because Scheme is an interpreted language,
we need better tools for keeping a global control. A modular design
helps with that. Also, a modular design avoids name  clashes.

I corrected that bug too.

Yes, but your feedback *is* very useful for correcting the bugs :^)
