I'm trying to get the markup macros working with GUILE 2.x compilation,
which means that all calls to module-define! have to go.

As a prelude to that, I'm trying to understand what this code is trying to
do.

I don't think supporting

  (define-markup-command sym1 sym2)

is very useful, but if you really want to have this, it should be
documented and tested.
