Abstract

The module system presented here is designed to let programmers share libraries, i.e., code that is intended to be incorporated into larger programs, and especially into programs that use library code from multiple sources. The module system supports macro definitions within modules, allows macro exports, and distinguishes the phases in which definitions and imports are needed. This SRFI defines a standard notation for libraries, a semantics for library expansion and execution, and a simple format for sharing libraries.
