There is a case where main can be imported. You can import main from a test 
in the same directory, but with a different package name. AFAICT, this 
allows 'external' testing of executable code. In that case what identifiers 
are exported does matter. But since most of us will probably never use this 
feature, it probably does not matter much in practice.
