defect

A bikeshed color issue, we need to choose the actual names for the module syntax for the winner of #2.

import, export and include are fairly universal and no alternate is suggested unless someone wants to write in a proposal.

The enclosing syntax can be called either library as in R6RS, module or some other proposal.

I favor library for compatibility.

Denis Washington brought up the issue of the name "module" vs. the name "library" in a message on the <scheme-reports> list on 19 Jun 2011. We had already voted on this issue, and no one brought up a new line of reasoning in the subsequent discussion, but I'm reopening this ticket so that we remember to look at it once again.

WG1 adopted the name define-library.
