I think that multiple question marks are the sign of an unsound mind.[1]
However, I do like the idea of syntactic sugar to load a bunch of
modules. I'm not sure you need the '*' though. Something like:
require Foo::Bar:: ;
Has no real meaning currently and could be taken to mean 'load all of
the modules under Foo::Bar'.
Question: Should this include Foo::Bar itself?
