Chibi’s module handling is similar to Guile:

Chicken does not construct a path (but I didn’t delve into their 
module system, and the rsr7 mapping to it, to understand what it does 
instead):

Chez is similar to Guile and Chibi:

> sorting with a valid extension, and the file must be in a directory 
> named tools which itself resides in one of the directories searched by 
> import.

Happy to look at others if it would help guide this. Thanks as ever for 
your continued fast responses!

Cheers, Michael
