Subject: Load classes on use, not on aliasing
Rather than load a module when aliased, wait until the module is actually used. This can be accomplished using Class::Autouse->autouse(). Unfortunately Class::Autouse does not call a module's import method nor have facilities to pass it an import list. Class::Autouse would have to be patched to do this.
I like this idea a lot. However, until Class::Autouse is patched, I'll have to defer this.
