We should also keep in mind that as we split up modules and split 
apart dependencies, it also means that *as* we import a specific 
package, we are increasing our "use/import" ratio, further 
diminishing the issue of "import things we don't need." (who 
would import "std.foo.bar.baz", if they weren't planning to use 
baz?).

Arguably, we'd get "quadratic" effectiveness ;)
