Tobias,

This is a very good suggestion. I will have a think about how to implement it
and will come back to you.  It is consistent with what I had in mind to improve
the efficiency of module reading.  ie. read_module proceeds as follows:

(i) On encountering a USE statement, look for the module gsym.  If it does not
exist, use read_module, as at present, to construct the namespace, without any
exclusions or renames;
(ii) In the current scope, create symtrees using the ONLY and the renames and
point to the symbols in the gsym namespace;
(iii) Subsequent USEs of the same module proceed by using the gsym namespace.

I think that Andy was smoking something or was having a whimsical spell when he
wrote module.c.  Whilst it is very elegant, it is unnecessarily disjunct from
the rest of the frontend and could have been done as above.

Cheers

Paul
