Thanks! Some places it could be documented: 1. expand faq section 8.5 (""Can I load compiled code at runtime?"") 2. have another section just after http://chicken.wiki.br/man/4/Modules%20and%20macros#examples-of-using-modules 3. the definition of an import library (http://chicken.wiki.br/man/4/Modules%20and%20macros) makes it sound like an optional tool that enables more esoteric use cases (even now that you've explained what it is for, i still can't get that out of the manual) }}} ",defect,closed,minor,,documentation,4.5.x,fixed,documentation modules,,
