Have you published import.arc somewhere?

Yes. It's in the "lib" branch of my fork:

https://github.com/Pauan/ar/blob/lib/import.arc

It's a bit messy right now, though.

---

Also, `import` is still using `load`, rather than `use`. So you'd use something like this:

  (import foo "../path/to/foo.arc")
Rather than this:

  (import foo)
This has both advantages and disadvantages. What I'd like to do is have (import foo) behave like (use foo), but with namespace isolation. And then we could have an (import-as foo "../path/to/foo.arc") for more precise control.

---

I'd also like to note that "import.arc" is still basically alpha-state, so I make absolutely no guarantees about whether it'll work or not. My suggestion would be to try it, and if something breaks, tell me about it so I can try to fix it.

Basically, it's a prototype that attempts to demonstrate that the concept is both possible and feasible.
