Neat.  Although now that I think of it, for my particular problem, the
renaming import feature doesn't seem satisfying enough that I want to
immediately add this additional point of Guile-specificness to my
reusable Scheme modules.

(This is not to say that renaming import is not a good feature; I
suspect I'll have to use generics/multimethods to solve the biggest part
of my naming unease.  Renaming import would be useful in conjunction
with generics, in the occasional cases in which two non-analogous
operations with the same name are applicable to a given argument
signature.)
