I don't get it. How do you use a function with a type like:
(Int -> IO Int) -> Addr
to import a C function? The closest I can get is to use foreign label
to get an Addr (or FunPtr if preferred) but now I'm stuck. What's up?

But it is also used for exporting so the name doesn't seem that
inappropriate.
Unless you're arguing that, since it brings a name into scope it can
be thought of as a kind of import??? (But I don't think you are saying
that.)
