Yes - except `#lang` cannot handle all module spec such as `lib` or
`planet`module path.
`s-exp` will use the next datum as the module path, but AFAICT
`s-exp`doesn't allow the use of custom reader (which my custom
language requires),
and hence I ended up having to use #reader and hack my own s-exp module if I
want to use `(planet ...)` as the module resolver.

That's what I did, thanks.  But in order to use `(planet ...)` path resolver
- it appears I need to use `#reader` instead of `#lang`.  Hence I'm
interesting in seeing `#lang` support more module specs.

Thanks,
