One works for Guile modules, the other works for slib packages. They
are not interchangable, AFAIK there is no package you can load using
both methods. Personally, I would like to see slib packages made
visible in the Guile module namespace, I have some ideas on this but I
might wait for Godot before taking a crack at it.
