AFAIK this isn't possible because you can't import modules
that the compiler doesn't know about. So when a imports b,
you will get a message that b does not exist (yet).
The issue with a module importing itself was that the module
is registered as soon as the (module foo ...) is seen, which
meant it was able to import itself.
Cheers,
