Yes, but that would happen at load time, not compile time,
so I guess some other macro is using the files unit at
compile time, thus loading irregex?

Anyway, I tried compiling all four of the patterns occurring
in those two procedures with both the irregex.scm in Chicken
and with the latest upstream, and couldn't trigger an
infinite loop.

I'm also puzzled as to how this can be behaving differently
between Chicken 3 and 4 when the irregex.scm file is
identical.
