Another point that I believe Isaac is making is that too much syntax is likely to confuse developers and allowing certain features, such as nested modules or `import *`, can be harmful to programmer efficiency in the long term, if used. For the purpose of discussion, I made a gist [0] of Isaac's proposal. Most of the module examples [1] are there.
