With:
$P2 = new .ResizablePMCArray
push $P2, 'foo bar baz'
$P0.'import'($P1, ['KeyTo'; 'ImportedNamespace'], $P2)
Subs with spaces in the name are the rare case, so it's okay
if a PIR programmer has to do a little extra work for those. :-)
And silicon-based PIR generators would likely be generating the
array anyway, or otherwise dealing with the case of a delimited
list of sub names.
