Yeap, that would be the next idea (now that I figured what you meant).

It's turning out to be a bit of a nightmare since we rely so heavily on the side effects of "load" and we have 4 different namespaces active at once.  This example is just one small piece.

What this really shows is how bad the choice of load was. I would bet a beer or something that you'll find #lang/require and friend will eventually make your life easier and happier.
