The one advantage of this one is that there is only one reserved
keyword introduced into the language cutting into the space of
identifiers.  That's not a big deal right now because we use the _
prefix because it's nonstandard.  But if it ever does become standard,
it would be a shame to disallow "import" and "export" as variables.
