I think that was the old discussion that I remembered and mentioned in a 
previous post.

Now that I look back at it and see that this was only about "import" l wonder: 
Is there a similar aversion to allowing wildcards in :require/:use 
specifications?

I see that that the discussion about import is continuing as I type, and I'd 
personally be pro-wildcard in all cases, but perhaps these are separate issues 
and wildcards might be allowed in :require/:use however that turns out?
