No, the example comes from an intended bugfix to the
GD compiler:

http://berlin.ccc.de/cgi-bin/cvsweb/gd/src/d2c/compiler/front

In fer-builder.dylan I want to add a method to
build-defn-set, specialized on <bindings-definition>.

<bindings-definition> is in var-defns.dylan (module
variable-definitions).

To get it in fer-builder.dylan, front-exports.dylan
has to be changed to "use variable-definitions" from
"module front". Doing this results in an error when
compiling.
Additionally moving the "define module
variable-definitions" _before_ "define module front"
solves it. Strange. Maybe we should look at the
exporting algorithm.

Thanks,
