This is a common beginner problem, which would probably cease to exist
if the toplevel supported other ways of loading module files (see below).

I think so, too. Question to the developers: why not add another form of
"#use", which automatically wraps the contents of files into modules
of the corresponding name? This should be trivial to do and would also
allow more consistent ways of scripting.
