That is a goal, since I can't really consider the new module system
done without that.  However, I can't say when it will happen, make any
specific committment, as it is non-trivial.  (It means the compiler
automatically splitting out part of a module into a separate
sub-module, and compiling that before compiling the rest of the
module.)

I think you shoudl be able to use define-syntax to define macros.
If you can't, please send a test-case.
