This is an alternative to #5608 that is similar to @vtjnash's proposal from #1986, although I didn't implement the
as
part of that proposal. Syntax is:I chose this approach over the others mentioned in #1986 because it wasn't clear to me what should happen if you try to
reexport MyModule
orexportall MyModule
without first having calledimportall MyModule
orusing MyModule
. It also avoids an additional reserved keyword since it is only applicable afterusing
,import
, orimportall
. I am not convinced it is a better option than #5608 (it's not any easier to use and it's a lot more code), but hopefully one of these can make it into Base.
