Re: Scoping in Io

Yes.

Haml doFile("Compressor.io")

Importer really needs a filePathFor(…) method which takes a string, and returns you the path that Importer's FileImporter would use when import is called on it. Then, you could simply write an import function like this (and I think it's something we'd add to the repo):

import := method(str,
    self doFile(Importer filePathFor(str))
    self
)
