  Description     : generic Emacs/Scheme interaction mode

 Geiser features an enhanced REPL and a set of minor modes improving
 Emacs' basic scheme major mode. The main functionalities provided
 are:

    - Evaluation of forms in the namespace of the current module.
    - Macro expansion.
    - File/module loading.
    - Namespace-aware identifier completion (including local bindings,
      names visible in the current module, and module names).
    - Autodoc: the echo area shows information about the signature of
      the procedure/macro around point automatically.
    - Jump to definition of identifier at point.
    - Access to documentation (including docstrings when the
      implementation provides it).
    - Listings of identifiers exported by a given module.
    - Listings of callers/callees of procedures.
    - Rudimentary support for debugging (list of
      evaluation/compilation error in an Emacs' compilation-mode
      buffer).
