what I'm talking about would be sugar for something functionally equivalent to:

I think it's good that imports are not expressions. It makes it a lot easier to analyze them statically.

These use cases are probably better solved at the Loader level. If I understood the spec correctly, If you have modules that you want to load conditionally you can set up a `normalize` hook that changes which module is actually loaded.

System.normalize = function (name) {
  if (name === 'bar' && Math.random() > 0.5') {
    return 'baz'
  }
  return name;
};
