By importing a module I mean adding it to (use-modules ...) while working on a Guile Scheme file.

But now that you mention opening a file, I think the complete behavior I would expect would be that doing the following,

1. Visit path/to/file.scm
2. M-x run-guile

would make symbols of all existing modules in (use-modules ...) to become available for autocomplete, autodoc, etc. And

3. Add more modules to (use-modules ...) during my work

would also make the symbols of the new modules available for autocomplete, etc.

Currently, I have to evaluate the buffer manually (C-c C-b) for these things to happen.
