Comment (by mpickering):

 I don't think your comment is correct Ben. You say that
...
Note that the user cannot import the definitions from export list (1)
 with import list (2) and vice versa.
But if the pattern synonym is bundled then you can import it with the
 `pattern` keyword just like record selectors.
