Those are good details to know – thanks! And thanks for pointing out my 'brain fart' about `defguardp`.
Would you think it would make sense to _exclude_ any 'guard macros' either NOT defined with `defguard` nor having whatever relevant attribute there might be? I'm trying to think how useful this request/proposal might be for others. Personally, I'm generally happy to just `import` specific macros/guards if it doesn't make sense to just import entire modules. I would think `import`-ing a module would also include any guards (of any variety) – is that no so?
