Which suggests that the people wanting to specify the restrictions are 
actually asking for a way to specify additional strictures for users of 
their modules, which are still controlled by /[use|no] strict/. While it 
is true that any module is free to implement its c<import> method to 
allow its users to specify a level of strictness, it would be nice to 
abstract this type of thing into the "use strict" mechanism.
