It's probably a good idea to give each ":import"'ed module its own
scope, so that it doesn't need to worry about names of variables used
elsewhere. But I think this scope doesn't need to be exposed to other
recipes. If some things need to be available elsewhere the module can
set values in the toplevel scope. If some things need to be shared with
other modules (even though that sounds unlikely at this time) a new
scope can be created for it.
This is also relatively easy to implement, because the scope of the
imported recipe doesn't need to be added to the stack of scopes.

Great. Then I can continue making it easier to download and install Aap
and Agide. "aap --install agide" is now almost working.
