new forms:

(import std.prelude) ;; spills contents of std.prelude into the current namespace
(import qualified std.hash) ;; if shatree is in std.hash, adds std.hash.shatree into this namespace
(import qualified std.hash as H) ;; as above, but adds H.shatree
(import std.hash exposing shatree sha) ;; Adds only shatree and sha to the current namespace
(import std.hash hiding sha) ;; adds shatree to the current namespace

(export (args) body) ;; Creates one clvm program (as with toplevel mod)

(defun F (X) ...)
(defun G (X) ...)
(export F) ;; creates a program from F and writes it to disk
(export G) ;; also G simultaneously

;; Module style provides the hashes of exports to the program exporting them,
;; making it possible to build some coin structures entirely within a chialisp program.
;; The hash functions will be arranged to be as efficient as they can be (constant if
;; not recursively defined, otherwise with as much precalculation as possible).
(defun F (X) (G_hash)) ;; Construct the modhash of G if it's exported
(defun G (X) (F_hash)) ;; Construct the modhash of F if it's exported

example of what can be got up to:

(include *standard-cl-23*)
(import qualified programs.two-outputs as two.outputs)

;; When imported, F_hash and G_hash of foreign programs are constants.
(export (X Y) (list two.outputs.F_hash (a two.outputs.F (list X)) two.outputs.F two.outputs.G_hash (a two.outputs.G (list Y)) two.outputs.G))
