[Chicken-hackers] [PATCH] Fix define-foreign-type fuckup

[Peter Bex]

Hi all,

My previous patch to improve hygiene for the FFI broke
define-foreign-type because ##core#set does not register its
defined variable like "define" does (see today's Salmonella).
So, later references to the identifier would cause errors inside
a module, because the module didn't know the identifier existed.

After pondering this a bit, I realised this could be a hidden
nasty bug, see https://bugs.call-cc.org/ticket/1615

Anyway, here's a simple fix, we can work on a proper fix for #1615
later, as this is not a new problem and so far hasn't caused issues.
The attached patch simply behaves the same as the old unhygienic
version that called define did.

Cheers,
Peter
