Re: [Jscheme-devel] (import "yada.yada.Yada")

OK, I see your logic.

I wrote my note after I imported some classes from JAR files, and then 
to my surprise found, from (classpathURLs), that the classes were never 
actually loaded and various symbols remained undefined.  It turned out 
that happened because I launched JScheme via "-jar jscheme.jar" instead 
of "jscheme.REPL".

I guess I'd call the `import' facility that requires classes to exist 
`import-exist' or `import-now'.
