On the one side there's no 100% reliable way.  E.g. some files don't
declare what module they're in, and so if they are loaded (e.g. via
"include") from within some other module, then they inherit the current
module from the caller.

However there is the very common case in which each file defines a
module -- there, I would actually go about this in the other way.  Walk
the module tree and record source file names that map to modules.
However like source-procedures, probably Guile should bake this facility
into (system xref).  Anyway here is a procedure that will do it:

  ;; Return hash table mapping filename to list of modules defined in that
  ;; file.
  (define (compute-source->module-mapping)
    (let ((ret (make-hash-table)))
      (define (record-module m)
        (let ((f (module-filename m)))
          (hash-set! ret f (cons m (hash-ref ret f '())))))
      (define (visit-module m)
        (record-module m)
        (hash-for-each (lambda (k v) (visit-module v))
                       (module-submodules m)))
      (visit-module (resolve-module '() #f))
      ret))

Cheers,
