Yes, I'm talking about the module user too, the module user loses some
core bindings.

If you don't know about the clashes/replacements then you're likely to
be unpleasantly surprised to see core stuff suddenly move under your
feet.  But a way to acknowledge that in the use-modules might be nice.

An option for srfi-60 bit-count would be to extend the core, since the
argument types are different in the two forms.  Such cases have been
using #:replace, eg. srfi-17 and srfi-39.
