If designing from first principles, I'd be more inclined to have the builtin "importing" function (aka use) call a module's "export" function. That way, the function name is a command. "When I want to import, I tell it to export."

And then you'll have somebody come along and ask "why when I add stuff to my symbol table do I call export - surely I'm importing stuff?" :-)

You can argue it either way.
