Black Hole

Black Hole is a module system for the Gambit Scheme system.

Black Hole (from now and on addressed as ”BH”) enables Gambit with robust functionality for incremental software development, and thus enables Gambit for the development of large software projects.

BH is completely R5RS compliant, and any R5RS Scheme code can be taken into use within BH without any modifications.
