Comment:

 You need {{{use}}} rather than {{{import}}}.  {{{import}}} doesn't load
 code, it only loads the so-called "import library" which registers which
 identifiers are exported by the module.

 This is a bit of a FAQ/pitfall/caveat in CHICKEN 4.  In CHICKEN 5, we've
 made {{{use}}} and {{{import}}} behave identically because it is rarely
 actually useful to only load the import library but not the code.
