I don't understand. If it's in terms of HostResolveImportedModule, and HostResolveImportedModule is not implemented or specified in any way yet, introducing a new thing on top of that does not help the situation at all.

In other words, it seems necessary to make `import "moduleSpec"` work before even thinking about how to make `System.import("moduleSpec")` work.
