allison replaced the .IMPORT macro, used for importing pmcs into the current namespace, with the namespace 'export_to' method defined in PDD21. however, this code is lacking in safety guards (eg. what if the foreign namespace doesn't exist?) rather than adding that check to all code, i'd prefer to see an Exporter PMC that defines an api for exporting. not only would this set a standard api for export operations, but it would allow a user to override behavior of the default exporter by subclassing. ~jerry
