The thing is that it is not clear what the * would denote. Would it  
force a load of _all_ subvocabularies of ui?

I think constructing USING: lists is something that needs to be done  
by an editor communicating with a Factor instance. The old Factor  
plugin for jEdit had this feature, you'd put the cursor over an  
unknown word (which would be underlined red) and press a key. You'd  
then get a popup listing vocabularies defining a word with this name,  
selecting one would add the vocab to the file's USING: list.
