How about:

(library "minir6rs" "scheme://r6rs"
  ; export all names in r6rs except CAR
  (export + - ... ))

(libray "myr6rs" "scheme://r6rs"
  (import "minir6rs")
  ; export all names in r6rs
  (export + - ...))

It is a bit cumbersome to be so explicit. Perhaps
<export-set> could be extend with an (all-from <lib-path>)
form?
