What's with `symbol-set!' is deprecated. Use the module system instead.

The module system documentation provides _no_ _clue_ _whatsoever_ about
how something like
(symbol-set! #f (string->symbol name) value)
could be replaced.  In fact, the module system documentation provides
_no_ _clue_ _whatsoever_ how to actually access module variables short
of calling eval on little programs working with symbols.

I don't want to call eval for the simple act of setting a symbol to a
value.

The funny thing is that symbol-fset! and symbol-pset! are documented.
But nothing whatsoever that could set a symbol value itself on a symbol
that has been generated.

What's up with that?
