IMO, an import into the top-level of the REPL should redefine any bindings  
exported of the same name as they were defined otherwise.

In other words, the above definition of GET-X contains a free reference to  
X. That X should not be "dereferenced" until GET-X is applied, at which  
point, the binding for X is that exported by (foo).
