Thanks, I more or less came up with something alike yesterday evening
-- one of the other problems was that I didn't do scm_c_export() of
the symbols, which drove me up the walls ( "why isn't it seeing my
definitions...? ")

Ah, of course, I could batch these exports.

Yes, thanks. Most of the code involved is triggered from the C part of
the code, but I noticed that most of the module system actually lives
in the SCM system, so perhaps it doesn't make much of a difference?

I think you left out the part where the new scope imports the old
(nested) scopes, i.e. 

        void
        My_lily_lexer::add_scope (SCM module)
        {
          scm_set_current_module (module);
          for (SCM s = scopes_; gh_pair_p (s); s = gh_cdr (s))
            {
              SCM expr = scm_list_n (ly_symbol2scm ("module-use!"),
                                     module, scm_list_n (ly_symbol2scm 
("module-public-i
        nterface"),
                                                         gh_car (s), 
SCM_UNDEFINED),
                                     SCM_UNDEFINED);

              scm_primitive_eval(expr);
            }

          scopes_ = scm_cons (module, scopes_);


Does your suggestion to use modules mean that there is no other
natural way to implement these nested scopes?
