I think this could be made to work in the case of use a gensym for an identifier. Different bytecode loads would still produce different gensyms, but an identifier based on a gensym could still get its binding from the originating module in the same way as an identifier from `generate-temporaries'. I'll try that out sometime. _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
