Statements like 'define-module', 'use-modules', 'export', etc are
meant to describe the environment of some code in a static way.  A
compiler should be able to interpret them at compile time.

Manipulating the module system at run-time is of course also
important, but we prefer to use more explicit code for it, like
the function 'module-use!'.
