Changes (by simonpj):

 * priority:  normal => highest


Comment:

 I think a module should simply never import itself.  I propose to make
 this an error.  Does anyone object?

 I'm increasing the priority to highest to make sure that we attend to
 this, not because it's terribly important. It's very easy to implement if
 we agree that it should be illegal.

 Simon
