I like it for two reasons.

1. The lack of parallelism between the (use-modules) procedure and the
#:use-module form has always bothered me.

2. It would then be a bit easier to create a mapping to the r6rs
library form.  In r6rs libraries, you can include multiple libraries
with one "import" command.
