I don't really know how Geiser finds the definitions for jumping, but
there are some "internal" things that Geiser can't find (for example,
"cons", "append", "with-output-to-file", etc.).  I just don't know what
is the definition of the term "internal" in this context, i.e. what can
be found and what cannot.
