I'm confused---I think there's been a misunderstanding.  Right now,
you say:

(require "baz.ss")

where baz.ss contains some module definition

rather than

(import "baz-sig.ss")

where "baz-sig.ss" presumably contains a signature definition.  Once
you've written the former, you can't convert it into the latter
without changing the source.  (Which may not be possible.)
