Ok, I find attached a variant, both more ugly in interface and 
implementation, since ##core#module and functor do not yet allow
renamings to be handled. Also, "define-interface" has no notion
of this, so "(rename: OLD NEW)" is purely applicable in "export".

I prefer the first variant, but feel free to push which one you
like more.
