Uhh. I import into a namespace. I can export another namespace that
doesn't include whatever I imported. So import doesn't have to be
`transitive,' as I said. Your analogy with NFS doesn't make sense,
because in Unix-land (where I assume you're talking about), you have
a single, global namespace. Not so in Plan 9.

Uh, okay.
Note to the world: I've finally started filtering out Choate. Hooray!
I get to join the rest of the masses in ignoring his inanities!

(Actually, I'm filtering him into another folder, so that I have something
to laugh at every now and again when I'm feeling bored.)
