Hi Mark,

I agree that it’s terrible that we have to deal with such problems.
Thanks for (re)explaining the issue.

This seems hard to achieve, unless we use one file per package.

Perhaps another option would be to introduce a ‘define-package’ form
that would thunk every package definition, or something like that,
though it wouldn’t help in more complex cases I guess.
