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... <wink>
