Hi,

You probably figured this one out, many moons ago, but:

later you said:

The issue is that get-map was defined in guile-user.  But that's not the
root module: it's only the default module at the REPL.

Your mapdisplay module implicitly imported (guile), not (guile-user).

When you are extending Guile, it's best to put primitives in their own
modules, as Peter mentioned.

Regards,

Andy
