Yes, of course.  We need renaming imports, for example.  Your
suggestion of having the importer of modules be in control to a very
large extent sounds good.

Actually, merging of generic functions might turn out to be a often
wanted thing, and we might want to provide a convenient syntax to
request it.  But I don't want this generic merging to happen _without_
this explicit request from the user.
