How to use words from a named module inside another?

Question

I'm looking for an example of how to use words exported from a named module inside another module.

From the help of import

REFINEMENTS:
/version
ver [tuple!]
    Module must be this version or greater
/check
sum [binary!]
    Match checksum (must be set in header)
/no-share
    Force module to use its own non-shared global namespace
/no-lib
    Don't export to the runtime library (lib)
/no-user
    Don't export to the user context

it would suggest that import/no-lib doesn't place the imported word in the lib context, so import by itself should? But it doesn't.

This works but it seems that import by itself should work.

import/no-lib %my-named-module.reb
append lib compose [f: (:my-exported-function))

and I can then access the function by using lib/f

@giuliolunati I don't think it works as described. Export doesn't exist as a word. — Graham Chiu, Mar 14 '17 at 22:58
