The macros that srfi-40 provides are not loaded at runtime, but during
the compilation of b.scm. The loading happens at run-time, where
the macros are not available. a.scm could do a "(require 'srfi-40)",
though. This should load macros and runtime-support code (the latter
should be a noop, as the code is already loaded and registered)
into the running process. It might be possible that srfi-40.scm
needs extended macros (which are not provided by the core
evaluator available at runtime), in this case do a
"(require 'chicken-more-macros)" before require'ing srfi-40.
