This is a reasonable approach – something similar has come up before, as the essential design behind [PatModules](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-patmodules-jl-a-better-module-system-for-julia/). In practice that didn’t stick around long before we replaced it with [FromFile](https://github.com/Roger-luo/FromFile.jl), i.e. something like the current topic of discussion, which IMO is a bit simpler. Only one keyword, for starters.
