Note that the other half of my argument was that "real" modules are
only worth the complexity when they provide checking _consistently_.
That is, it shouldn't matter whether I write
import {f, g, h} from "url"
f(); g(); h()
or
module M from "url"
M.f(); M.g(); M.h()
These should be freely interchangeable -- the programmer shouldn't
need to pick between getting import checking but polluting the scope
and making uses less readable, or the other way round. The current
semantics falls short on that, it doesn't check in the latter case.
So from my perspective, that would need to be fixed as well. Which
would be fairly easy.
