I am mainly posting this here to gauge > opinion and seek feedback. I don’t think turning every `use Foo ...` into `use Importer Foo => ...` constitutes an improvement of the code. There is indeed a failure to separate concerns in Perl’s standard way of doing things, but going from “every module picks some exporter and its user gets no choice” to “every module cooperates with Importer and its user gets no choice” isn’t particularly much of a gain.
