#336: format-compiler-base overwrites previous definition of `format'
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  felix            |       Owner:       
     Type:  defect           |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  major            |   Milestone:       
Component:  extensions       |     Version:  4.5.x
 Keywords:  format-compiler  |  
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 The `format-compiler-base` module imports the `extras` unit and so
 overwrites the existing version of `format`. Better would be:

 {{{
 (require-library extras)

 (module format-compiler-base ...

 (import (except extras format))
 ...
 }}}

 (newer version of chicken support the `except` directly in `require-
 extension`, but this variant works with older versions)
