Scheme48's! Based on ML's, thought out, and apparently very useful
during Scheme48's development. It's also appropriate for aiding with
module compilation, whereas inline module declarations are okay for an
interpreted system but may be harder for a compiler to pick out.
I don't know if I like its non-standard comma configuration language,
but it would be good to at least take a look at the module system's
syntax.
Bigloo's module system is also very similar to Scheme48's.
