I was actually just thinking of the fact that `use Foo` means
BEGIN { require Foo; eval { Foo->import } }
and if you make it `use mock::Foo`, that will turn into
BEGIN { require mock::Foo; eval { mock::Foo->import } }
which means the import method will never actually be called.
But your observation is even more important than that.

It’s exactly the same kind of funky voodoo that the proposed
pragma would perform: populate %INC with the proper entry.
Although it might be implemented with a less funky-looking
syntax.
