It would be nice if this was referred to in the documentation. I
accidentally stumbled upon it yesterday.

OK. The difference wasn't clear to me at all, and I don't think the
distinction is there in the doco.

This means that if I do

            SCM mod = scm_c_define_module (...)
            scm_set_current_module (mod)
            scm_c_define ("foo", ... );

then 'foo is defined in MOD? This is what I really need.
