You can declare imports at the beginning of a program that don’t load until they are used?

Yeah, I'm aware the same behavior is available, but this proposal creates a call trigger on the dependency which requires far less analysis on larger projects to understand where the import needs to be moved to.
You have to create wrappers in languages like JavaScript, Lua, Python, etc. to create the same behavior.
