<lilyp>old: it makes sense if you think about scoping: the entire module is a scope, and definition order does not matter (IIRC)

<mov-eax>Hi, folks!

<mov-eax>How bignums are implemented in Guile?

<Arsen>seems that bignums use gmp if that's what you mean

<mov-eax>Probably I mean exactly that.

<mov-eax>So, multiplication of bignums is from gmp as well, I suppose?

<old>lilyp: the thing is that, I am doing some form canonicalization at expansion time. That is, global identifier are translated to their (@ module symbol) equivalent

<old>anyway, when I encounter a global symbol from the module where the expansion happen, I can not distinguish between that and a symbol that simply not exist

<old>So I kind of just assume that if a global symbol is present, and if it was not imported, then assume it is coming from this module

<sneek>Yey! mwette is back :D

<lechner>Hi, using the existing Guile module system what's a good strategy to distribute and load a module that varies across architectures but should have the same module name in each architecture, please?
