That was the nice thing about scm_register_module_xxx - the semantic was 
clear: the init function given to it was supposed to set up all the fuctions/
bindings for the module given in the name parameter. As a bonus one got delayed
loading since the init function got only called when the module was 'use'd.

... one of the reasons i started doing this in mod_guile ;-)

I just wanted to veryfy that this appoach is "blessed" -- and maybe point
out a weak spot in the documentation and API.
