Sorry for coming late to this discussion.

It seems to me, though, that this is all a matter of ordering, not of
whether the duplicates processing gets invoked.  I don't know all the
details of the duplicate processing, but by default I would expect a
later use-modules (or similar operation) to override an earlier one.
Is that what happens?

Then, if it is the case that

$ guile

sets up a standard environment, it seems obvious to me that if one
does

$ guile --srfi=1

the "--srfi=1" should take effect after the standard environment has
been set up.

And then the real problem, as I understand it, would be that the code
in script.c generates code which does the (use-modules (srfi srfi-1))
before the (top-repl).

What do you think?  Have I completely misunderstood?
