Comment (by Idiomdrottning):

 The macro version of this expands to import rename so it does whatever
 that does, which seems to be that when there is foo-bar and bar, it
 ignores foo-bar and just gives you bar.

 I agree with giving the original bar a higher priority than the renamed
 foo-bar.


 Ideally / pragmatically I would want it to give you bar and foo-bar under
 their original names and only strip non-colliding names. That's an easy
 enough change if people agree.

 Another change I might want is to not rename if the new name would be
 empty. That's a corner case that might never come up, since say there is
 filter and filter-map, the prefix is filter- rather than filter.
