With gambit v4.8.4 come modules at the gambit layer.
Currently, in order to import a gambit module you need to manually define an .sxi wrapper that lists all the imports and handles the primitive module loading.

We should provide an import form (e.g. (import (gambit: (some gambit module)))) that automatically handles the scaffolding and symbols and has compiler support for the correct primitive import form.

Longer term we would like our modules to become primitive gambit modules that can be imported by gambit code, but this is further down the road.
