I guess the criteria i used in my thumbs down on 'indexing' is very
subjective, because i would say the added functionality of 'import x as y'
*does* satisfy my added-functionality test, and i'd be +1. (I think the
determining thing is the ability to avoid name collisions without any
gross shuffle.)
I also really like the non-keyword basis for the, um, keyword.
