I think so too.  However, some flexibility is nice when generating
modules programmatically from a macro; that's why I was asking about it.
If a module is just "lifted" up from the expression so that it functions
exactly the same whether in a let or at toplevel, it might be a bit more
flexible.  But again, this is a Nice To Have, and absolutely not critical
for the next release.

I mean when compiling "run.scm", then trying to run it.

Thanks.
