First, thanks so much for your answer. But I couldn't find any
documentation about the above make-module, module-use-interfaces! and
module-use-interfaces functions used. I looked at the source code but,
because of I'm totally green about module related stuff, couldn't figure
out anything significant.

I don't want to be lazy but... Can you please explain a bit more about
the above usage of modules? For instance, you said, I can bind that
[thing] to some variable in C. But then how will I use it?

[I'm not sure if this will be a useful information, but anyway:] I just
want to execute my individual procedures in a #:pure'ified environment
in PL/scheme. That's all. I hope I'm on the right direction.


Regards.
