Bug description

This bugs is a follow-up to a thread of the caml-list:

https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/caml-list/2012-11/msg00021 .html

While testing/debugging some code with the OCaml toplevel, one may want to "#load" a module while keeping access to functions hidden by a .mli

The primitive "#use" already allow this, but when loading multiple files the "module-as-namespace" paradigm is not usable.

Here is a small patch that introduces a new primitive: #mod_use "file.ml"
It behaves as '#use "file.ml"', but wrap the content of 'file.ml' in a module 'File'.
