No, not currently. You can trade the `(module ...)' wrapper for a
`#reader' prefix, like this:

 --- file1.cust-lang ---
 #reader("custom-language-reader.scm")
 a b c

but that's as far as it goes.

`require' might one day support a mapping from file suffixes to
implicit `#reader' headers, but I'm not sure.
