Ever since the DataFrames package had DataArrays split out, I've wanted to allow people to get both sets of functionality from a single call to using DataFrames. We currently fake this by running using DataArrays in Main when you load src/DataFrames.jl, but this is a broken hack that fails in a lot of settings.
As we start to consider what would go in the Stats meta-package, the situation gets even stranger. I imagine that Stats will want to force calls to using DataArrays, using DataFrames, using GLM, etc. It would be nice to have a convenient shorthand for doing this.
Of course, we could go through each dependency and explicitly re-export things. But I was wondering if we could potentially offer this kind of second-order dependency forcing at the language level.
