Hehe.. The stuff you have been experiencing is a large reason to why I have pretty much given up working on Black Hole, it is so hard to integrate it into Gambit in a reasonable way.

It kindof works for me personally, for instance because I know that the warning messages you see are from Gambit and not BH, but there are so many small things that don't make sense unless you know the inner workings of BH (debugging from the REPL and attempting to access the hygienically renamed variables is a mess), and I haven't been able to get around it.

While indeed Black Hole doesn't 'swallow' Gambit and abstract it away completely, it is a good module system that delivers for practical use.

Re REPL debugging, the only limit I see is that the granularity of the code row&column numbering is decreased to the level of individual top-level procedure only.

Accessing the variables in their renamed form is fine also, as you have the names of all local variables from ,be all the time.
