Re: Which class provides "print(s: STRING)"?

I think their is no problem here.

I have always understood that an "export clause" is the list of
classes distinct from Current.  An object always has complete access to itself, and so an "import clause" is never necessary, and so no such thing exists.

A feature's export clause is a list of classes.  All class instances that conform to a listed class have access to the feature, even when they are not Current.

By "secret feature"  I have always understood that it means
exporting to NONE, and since no class conforms to NONE, the
feature is NOT exported at all, but this does NOT affect that the feature 
is always imported by Current.
