In 3.12 @B was top-level.  Now it's defined in @BasicSetup.  That
makes sense, as it keeps the top-level namespace clean.

Also note, that in 3.12 you cannot 'def' anything after '@Use'.  Now
you can, so can simply tweak your setup file to include mydefs after
invocations of @Use where exported symbols are already visible.

You can also group definitions in "modules" and @Use the module:

    import @Buzz # or 'extend' if you need private symbols from @Buzz

    export @MyFoo @MyBar ...

    def @MyDefs
    @Begin
        ...
        def @MyFoo { ... }
        def @MyBar { ... }
        ...
    @End @MyDefs

    @Use { @MyDefs }
