one prob I have found ... in a lib such as "rtc" the objects are

deal with this? you can't really put [import list-abs] or [declare] in an abstraction ... well I guess you can buts that's not the way it should be done.
Interesting that you say that. I always thought it is the very goal of using [import]: make any patch or abstraction resolve its own dependencies.
In what way [import] shouldn't be used inside abstractions?
(I specifically mention only [import] now, since [declare] has its own implications, though if it would be free of bugs, I'd mentioned it as well.)
So we have [import] which isn't in vanilla, [declare] which you say has bugs, and using "libname/" prefixes which works for both vanilla and extended. What am I missing?
