Yes, I think that's more disciplined. Here is the actual code:
;; The following macro allows one to write, for example,
;;
;; (: (ice-9 pretty-print) pretty-print)
;;
;; to refer directly to the pretty-print variable in module (ice-9
;; pretty-print). It works by looking up the variable and inserting
;; it directly into the code. This is understood by the evaluator.
;; Indeed, all references to global variables are memoized into such
;; variable objects.
(define-macro (: mod-name var-name)
(let ((var (module-variable (resolve-interface mod-name) var-name)))
(if (not var)
(error "no such public variable" (list ': mod-name var-name)))
var))
