There is no %import -- that was scraped since it was semantically
confusing, and there were enough ill-defined cases where we weren't
really sure how it *should* work.

Such a thing may be introduced in the future if the semantics are
clear.

%include is much simpler (similar to C's #include) and is expected to
remain (no one has suggested removing it, and I've no intention of
doing so).
