Hello!
The problem is that modules are resolved at compile-time, in addition to
run-time, so there just can’t be circular dependencies.
Besides, I think it’s generally a problem from an engineering viewpoint
when cycles are introduced.
So my feeling is that Guile should be able to detect cycles and warn
users.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
