I've changed -m to use bindings from '#%kernel (for `#%app', etc.).


As you may guess, I don't use -m myself. I use `command-line', and as
of yesterday, the `scheme' module provides a slightly streamlined
`command-line' form.

So, instead of something like

  #lang scheme
  ...
  (provide main)
  (define (main src-file target-dir)
    (build-it src-file target-dir))

I'd write

  #lang scheme
  ...
  (command-line #:args (src-file target-dir)
                (build-it src-file target-dir))

Advantages include better error messages for command-line parsing,
direct support for flags, and no need for -m. Disadvantages include
having to learn a new syntactic form and more difficulty for testing.

Any better ideas?
