Thanks Luke.  By "the namespace from which you import is loaded when your 
package is" I take it that you are saying that all such referenced packages
are loaded up front, which is not what I hoped.  And it's too bad you can't
import unexported objects, as that rather defeats the purpose of importFrom.
