Follow-up to [Listing all names available in a module](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/listing-all-names-available-in-a-module/32601).
I need a way to introspect all names available in a module, including names implicitly brought in with `using`. The `names` function is helpful, but does not go all the way because even with `imported=true` it only includes names _explicitly_ brought into a module.
Inside a module `MyModule` which states
`using FunctionalCollections`
the invocation of `names(MyModule, imported=true)` does _not_ include names from `FunctionalCollections`. On the other hand if `MyModule` states
`import FunctionalCollections: @Persistent, append`
the `names` command does include the explicitly imported symbols. (Strangely, `using FunctionalCollections: @Persistent, append` does not have the same effect as the `import` call above.)
In short, is there a more powerful version of `names` I can use to enumerate all names available inside a module?

You can do it iteratively:
```julia
nms = names(MyModule; imported=true)
for mod in Base.loaded_modules_array()
if isdefined(MyModule, nameof(mod))
append!(nms, names(mod))
end
end
```

Excellent workaround. Thank you.
