#1383 closed enhancement (wontfix)
Add unexport form for modules

Description
An "unexport" form for modules would be useful. For example, this would only export the identifier "b":
(module m1 * (import chicken scheme) (define a 1) (define b 2) (unexport a))
This idea came out of #1376 and associated discussions on the mailing list. This would be a counterpart to "export", used to adjust the export list of a module from within its body.
megane has posted a patch on chicken-hackers, but it will need to be updated to apply to chicken-5.

I think I agree with sjamaan's comments regarding the proliferation of all sorts of export/unexporting tricks. I think we should stick to what exists or keep to writing standard R7RS library definitions.
