Agreed. But how to you test wether something is really needed?
I do be removing it and seeing wether it still works.
And that's done faster using args ; with args, isn't it? (my 2 cents)
About "ambient authority": agreed unless we limit arguments passed
by (import foo/bar) { < limited list > }
thus keeping at least one filter filering the global all-packages name
space. So this is indeed one point for "best practises" or a "good
style" documentation page.
