No, my proposal was that, if the system can determine that an import is infrequently used or unlikely to be used, it can block the entire event loop natively while fetching that delayed import. From the viewpoint of the running code, nothing happened; it's just that wall clock time ran forward a bit. But maybe this is a bad idea. Never mind. :) Ihab -- Ihab A.B.
