(That part should be easier now, with Matthew's change)

The standard way to solve this (which you were not doing, and running
to these problems as a result) is to define your own language module

  (module foo scheme/base
    (provide (except-out (all-from-out scheme/base) foo bar ...)
             (rename-out [my-foo foo] [my-bar bar] ...))
    (define my-foo ...)
    (define my-bar ...)
    ...)

This way you get all the usual stuff that is implicit.
