Re: union member already defined?

[iriri <iri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't really mind typing "std." but the way Rust deals with this is by
implicitly putting "use std::option::Option::{Some,None};" along with some
other conveniences into every module. If we supported bringing things into
scope that way, we could also include similarly fundamental things (mk? slice
operations?) in our prelude.

Names tend to be shorter in Myrddin though, so the need might not be there.

I'm not at all familiar with Swift, but the leading "." looks really off to me.
