Is there anything in the report about how imported modules are found?
Obviously (import (scheme io)) refers to a known module, but suppose I
had a module of my own. My present understanding is that this is left
intentionally unspecified in the small language.
It would not be the right balance to specify top-level module
definitions in this report but leave the more important library system
out. Larger systems can provide both.
