Maybe (in the spirit of a couple of days ago) what is needed is
*adverbial* keywords.  Then you could do:

   import this quietly

One could expand on that idea as well, such as to satisfy those who
are overly obsessed with performance issues:

   import wxPython rapidly

or those with intermittent problems in their own code:

   import flakymodule reliably
