Comment(by simonpj):

 But "the" `cond` that is in scope could be overloaded, if you made it so.
 Just say
 {{{
 import MyCondModule( cond )
 }}}
 and if `MyCondModule.cond` has an overloaded type then that's what'll
 happen. In short, your desire is just a special case of "use whatever
 `cond` is in scope".

 OK, I think I'm happy to implement this.

 Hmm.  Do we call it `cond` or `ifthenelse`?

 Simon
