Comment (by Idiomdrottning):

 Why did you change the difficulty since there is an implementation?

 But implementing it as a macro might work.

 Here is one that works:

 https://idiomdrottning.org/import-sans.scm

 It has a bit of a different interface.

 Instead of

 (import (sans filepath "filepath:") (sans irregex "irregex-"))

 You go

 (import import-sans)
 (import-sans filepath: filepath)
 (import-sans irregex- irregex)

 i.e. separate calls.

 I guess I could wrap, walk, and shadow the import form so that I could
 instead implement something like

 (import import-sans)
 (import (sans filepath: filepath) (sans irregex- irregex) shell srfi-42
 (chicken pretty-print))

 for example. If that is possible and/or a good idea. Also (import import-
 sans) looks dorky so another name would be fine. Maybe just sans.
