Paul, names are imported and exported at the module level in ILE.  I
confess it never even crossed my mind to allow importing from
outside the module directly into a local variable.  Now that I do
think about it, it seems to me that it would be somewhat bizarre
to have a variable whose scope was both local to a subprocedure
and global to the application, but not global to the module.
