Heh, why do you think we chose not to do it - because we are 
bracketophobic bigots? ;)

Not sure what this one does, esp. include but if it's just global space 
there than ok.

I think we could live with this one, import problems are less severe 
then. We still need to check if we don't have any weird cases, but if we 
don't find any then it might work...

__::__ look like some weird ASCII art, maybe we need something better 
for it.
