OK, I give in.  You win the argument.  It's on the to-do list.  I'm no match
for you in an argument. :-)

I will debug with this code until it works again...

You can just say name_ = $future if you wish instead of using Symbol(name_).

Again you could have used [$AttributeError, $ImportError, ...

Why does it make me feel good to see caller being used? :-)
