I think its been around for a while.  Looking at some other code I
notice that I've always put a link to the "local" directory in my
personal guile module library.  That's a bit of a kludge.

That's what I figured was going on.  I thought it might be a GUILE
bug.  I can see how that might be good for files that are explicitly
loaded, but I think the interaction with the module system is poor.
