Can you please just believe me when I say I have NO DESIRE to do that?
 It's why I'm asking here.  I'm grateful for Stephan's explanation of
the current pattern.

And you're obviously and rightly not going to let me do anything
destructive anyway.

The thing is, based on my own experience with pcb interface and
reasoning about it, I'm pretty sure there's room for improvement and
would like to sort out how.  Just adding a bunch of tooltips
documenting strange behavior is less than perfectly satisfying.  John
has a point when he says extra menu items and such are costly.  If two
are almost identical one could perhaps be deprecated or something.
The behavior of the import at mark thing is odd enough I strongly
suspect very few people are successfully using it, and since there's
an adjacent feature that does the same thing it could in theory point
to the neighboring feature for a while then someday go away.
