  By the way, these "use" directives are about as low

Stupid question: why do you consider Scheme using a library to be more
"low level" than Lisp using a package?

Gauche is a bit odd in that it has both "use" and "require", but the
difference is only syntax. Gauche has a culture of distinguishing use
of the built-in extensions ("use") vs other libraries ("require").
