FWIW, check-requires was inspired by DrRacket's Check Syntax tool. 
However, because Check Syntax has to map its results back onto the 
original program, it sometimes loses information. For example, sometimes 
it can't connect required modules with the syntax that requires them.

You may find the code in macro-debugger/analysis/check-requires (and its dependencies) useful if you want to add this information to the module browser. Getting the set of references is actually somewhat tricky, and I think my code does as good a job as possible.
