address@hidden
-When using a module which exports a macro definition, the other module
-must export all bindings the macro expansion uses, too, because the
-expanded code would otherwise not be able to see these definitions and
-issue a ``variable unbound'' error, or worse, would use another binding
-which might be present in the scope of the expansion.
-
address@hidden
-When two or more used modules export bindings with the same names, the
-last accessed module wins, and the exported binding of that last module
-will silently be used.  This might lead to hard-to-find errors because
-wrong procedures or variables are used.  To avoid this kind of
address@hidden situation, use a custom interface specification
-(@pxref{Using Guile Modules}).  (We include this entry for the possible
-benefit of users of Guile versions previous to 1.5.0, when custom
-interfaces were added to the module system.)
