...the circumstance being, the interface that m2 was expanded against
changed. In theory this should render the compiled module b) too-old,
with respect to its dependencies -- which is to say, not just b.scm, but
also a.scm (or more generally, the module a).
Guile doesn't handle this properly. It assumes that if b.go is newer
than b.scm, b.go is usable. That is not the case, generally.
A proper solution would have b.go encode the modules that it depends
on, and check against those modules.
