I just committed this lazy duplicate binding handling thing in HEAD.
Attached is the exact patch that went in.

API changes include the new `module-autoload!', which is meant to be the
official way of autoloading a module (although I haven't written the doc
yet).  `module-observe-weak' has been changed too (in a
backward-compatible way) to address a bug in the previous API, namely
the fact that an observer would get unregistered when PROC is
unregistered (see `modules.test' for a test case).

My intent is to eventually document all (or most of) the `module-'
procedures, for instance under an "Introspection" node within the
"Modules" node.

Please test it with your favorite programs and report any problem.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
