    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Guile modules are nice and simple; we should separate all Nausea-related
definitions into one module, and possibly more specific world-related
definition into another different module.

This task only deals with introducing module support. The problem which this
will allow to solve will be managed as separate tasks.

Rationale: querying the system for definitions would also allow to implement
persistence in an elegant and general way; the remaining problem would be the
serialization of procedures, but I think it can be solved completely in
Scheme, using some recursive procedure calling procedure-source and
procedure-environment.
There's no need to dump procedures and types defined in C++, and this is
another simplification. C++ smobs must be dealt with in some special way, but
they are always known at compile time, which makes easier to support them.
