[plt-scheme] let-require
You know what would be awesome? A syntax that lets you require a module
but limits the lexical scope of its provided names. Something like:
---
(define (make-weird-list a b c)
(let-require (srfi/1)
(circular-list a b c)))
(define (circular-list . args)
(error "Never gets here"))
(make-weird-list 1 2 3)
---
or one thing I was thinking is to allow multiple modules in one file,
yet only the one named according to the file name is available from
external files.
weird-list.ss
---
(module backstage scheme/base
(require srfi/1)
(define (make-thing a b c)
(circular-list a b c))
(provide make-thing))
(module weird-list scheme/base
(require backstage)
(define (main)
(make-thing 1 2 3))
(provide main))
---
I like the let-require idea better though. Is there a reason that
require must introduce names at the module's lexical scope? Or is there
a way to do it already that I don't know about?
