Another Look at Julia's Import/Module Syatem

AltGtk.jl

# Notes: Notice there is no `module Gtk` at the top. b/c not the file _is_ the module.
#         
#        The term `use` was chosen just to differentiate from the others. It would
#        probably be called `import` in the end.
#
#        The complex imports for GLib are gone. Why does there need to be a separate
#        and specific import just b/c a function is going to be extended. The same is
#        true for Base.
#
#        The arguments are just file names and could also be written, e.g. `("GLib/Glib")`.
#        Which means it is also possible to use a dynamic arguments, as in `deps` below.
#        Also, it assumes a `.jl` extension unless otherwise given.
