I hate to be repetitive <snort>, but forget Scheme!  Scheme has nothing like
"import *" or Python's flavor of eval/exec.  The only guidance we'll get
there is that the Scheme designers were so put off by mixing lexical scoping
with eval that even *referencing* non-toplevel vars inside eval's argument
isn't supported.
