Hi Oleg,

Thanks, the testing is appreciated.

It's the start of a feature. :)

In other words, no, this isn't expected to work yet. As I mentioned way
back in February, the library names of the core units are unchanged (in
fact, the whole user-facing import/require API has remained the same, so
far). When support for `(import (list style library names))` is added,
those library names may be updated to match, and you'll be able to do
what you're trying to do as a side effect. But, that's only just been
started on at this point.

Cheers,

Evan
