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)
