That's why I put "suite" in quotes. It wouldn't really be a suite, just an indented block of stuff. But if you want, it could be a real suite that only happens to allow import statements... from OPAL.Modules.Financial.Reports.COGS: import generate, webOptions, normalize import rowops, summary

But this is also a very odd suite, because you can't use other statements...

But it does make me think of:

with OPAL.Modules.Financial.Reports.COGS: import .generate, .webOptions, .normalize import .row_ops, .summary

Which is like a bastard child of the relative import proposal and the with statement proposal...
