So it's impossible to do, in Jython, something like:

def fillme():
    global me
    import me

but it is possible to do:

def fillme():
    global me
    import me as _me
    me = _me

? I have to say I don't like that; we're always claiming 'import' (and
'def' and 'class' for that matter) are 'just another way of writing
assignment'. All these special cases break that.
