I'm going to start investigating this in the guile code taday, but I thought 
I'd ask again in case someone can just tell me: What does that set-module-uses! 
expression quoted above mean?  I assume this is attempting to export the slib 
functions that were just 'require'd, right?  When I tried it verbatim (except
for symbol-that-is-provided, of course!) guile freaked out on me.
