This could have been avoided if
import <module> hiding (<importables>)
were interpreted simply as a requiring that the specified <importables>
not be imported *whether they could have been or not* rather than as
requiring that they exist to be sneered at. It seems rather odd that
the removable of something that a module insists it doesn't want should
break that module.
