Hi,
[ CC'ing guix-devel@ because this functionality could be useful in Guix
package definitions ]
Currently, use-modules cannot be meaningfully used inside procedures,
unless '(current-module)' is always the module in which the procedure
is defined.
I wondered if some kind of 'lexical use-modules' was possible, with
sufficient macroology and module reflection, and it looks like it is:
(use-modules (srfi srfi-1))
(define-syntax use-module/lexical
;; todo: integrate into (use-modules ...)?
(lambda (s)
(syntax-case s ()
((_ foo)
(let* ((module-name (syntax->datum #'foo))
(interface (resolve-interface module-name)))
(define (binding->import name variable)
(define name-syntax (datum->syntax s name))
#`(define-syntax #,name-syntax (identifier-syntax (@ foo
#,(datum->syntax #'irrelevant name)))))
#`(begin #,@(module-map binding->import interface)))))))
(define &exception 'top-level)
(let ()
(use-module/lexical (ice-9 exceptions))
(pk 'inner &exception raise-continuable))
;;; (inner #<record-type &exception> #<procedure raise-continuable (obj)>)
(pk 'outer &exception)
;;; (outer top-level)
(pk 'unbound-variable raise-continuable)
;; a backtrace!
Limitation: things like
(define (foo)
(use-module/lexical (platform-specific-constants))
(if on-linux?
CONSTANT_ONLY_DEFINED_ON_LINUX
CONSTANT_ONLY_DEFINED_ON_HURD))
won't work in cross-compilation contexts.
Greetings,
Maxime.

I agree it would be useful.
Just yesterday wrote this (my goal here was to allow dynamic module
loading based on some condition);
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-syntax with-modules
(syntax-rules ()
"Dynamically load the given MODULEs at run time, making the chosen
bindings available within the lexical scope of BODY."
((_ ((module #:select (bindings ...)) rest ...) body ...)
(let* ((iface (resolve-interface 'module))
(bindings (module-ref iface 'bindings))
...)
(with-modules (rest ...) body ...)))
((_ () body ...)
(begin body ...))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
… which can be used like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(with-modules (((fibers) #:select (spawn-fiber sleep))
((fibers channels)
#:select (make-channel put-message get-message)))
(let ((channel (make-channel)))
(spawn-fiber
…)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Unlike ‘use-modules’, its clearly limited to the lexical scope of its
body.
IWBN to have a similar functionality in Guile proper, and it could
probably be made more efficient.

This probably does not interact perfectly with 'syntax-parameterize',
'bound-identifier=?'/'free-identifier=?' and 'syntax-local-binding',
though I guess it is good enough for most practical purposes.
