Comment:

 Yeah.  Normal fix for this is to make your record names unambiguous or,
 better, use define-record-type and prefix the record name with your module
 name, while using short accessors.  This eliminates most potential
 conflict. E.g. below you have (a:make-foo) but a:foo? only works for
 #<a-foo> not #<b-foo> nor #<kung-foo>.

 {{{
 (module a
  (define-record-type a-foo
    (make-foo x y) foo? (x foo-x) (y foo-y)))
 }}}
