[plt-scheme] Evaluation Across Modules (or Namespaces?)

Thanks, that works for the example.  I got my inference engine working
initially without developing the macros to implement the rules language - I
just build the rule definition structures directly.  I am now implementing
the rules language and that's where I am having the problem.  There is quite
a bit of manipulation I do with the rule elements that might be affected by
using syntax objects instead of plain symbols and pairs, but I'll take a
stab at it.

I think you've pointed me in the right direction anyway.

Thanks,
Doug

I don't think I understand your whole problem, but you might make
progress by using syntax objects instead of plain symbols and pairs:

(module a mzscheme
  
  (provide (all-defined))
  
  (define-struct s (args body f))
  
  (define-syntax def
    (syntax-rules ()
      ((d name args body ...)
       (define name (make-s #'args
                            #'(body ...)
                            #f)))))
  
  (define (act an-s)
    (set-s-f! an-s
              (eval #`(lambda #,(s-args an-s)
                       #,@(s-body an-s)))))
  
  (define (app an-s . args)
    (apply (s-f an-s) args))
  
  (define (my-f3 x) (* x x))
  
  )
