Hi,

This was interesting -- turned out that GOOPS imports `map' from (srfi
srfi-1), and it's also there from (guile-user).  SRFI-1 specified it via
#:replace so all is well, no warnings.  However merge-generics is itself
a generic which needs `map' to dispatch over its types (at first) and
then that recurses, leading to badness.

But, you say, I only specified the duplicates handler after loading
goops!  Well indeed, but if a module didn't specify #:duplicates, its
duplicates handling was implicitly dynamically scoped to whatever the
current default-duplicates-handlers were.  That seems bogus to me: the
module declares its imports and exports and a lack of a declaration of
#:duplicates indicates that the module is implicitly specifying the
duplicate handlers that are described in the manual.

In master I have changed the `default-duplicate-binding-handler' to
simply access the handlers for the current module, as that seems to be
the correct thing.  Let me know how it goes!  Closing as done but let's
follow up :)
