I hadn't thought of this; thanks for bringing it up.  It's like
`define-public' in guile.  OTOH I don't see why, given that you are allowed
to export all the bindings from an imported module with a single line in
the provide statement, you can't also export all the bindings in the
current module, or (better) all but some selected internal functions, which
is normally what I'd want to do.  It sounds like an oversight to me.
