  Description     : Import::Into - import packages into other packages

Writing exporters is a pain. Some use Exporter, some use Sub::Exporter,
some use Moose::Exporter, some use Exporter::Declare and some things are
pragmas.

If you want to re-export other things, you have to know which is which.
Exporter subclasses provide export_to_level, but if they overrode their
import method all bets are off. Sub::Exporter provides an into parameter
but figuring out something used it isn't trivial. Pragmas need to have
their import method called directly since they affect the current unit of
compilation.
