It turns out that the impl isn't structured
with a separate modulename->modulename mapping so it would
not be simple to implement. For example, what if two modules
whose top level scopes you have open use the same abbreviation
for a different module. Yes, we could arrange to emit an ambiguous-ref
message, but it's all work. =20
So I'm not enthusiastic, I'm afraid.
