11.2.10 shadowing-import | Function
  Syntax: shadowing-import symbols `&optional` package t Arguments and Values: symbols - a designator for a list of symbols. package - a package designator. The default is the current package. Description: shadowing-import is like import, but it does not signal an error even if the importation of a symbol would shadow some symbol already accessible in package. shadowing-import inserts each of symbols into package as an internal symbol, regardless of whether another symbol of the same name is shadowed by this action. If a different symbol of the same name is already present in package, that symbol is first uninterned from package. The new symbol is added to package's shadowing-symbols list. shadowing-import does name-conflict checking to the extent that it checks whether a distinct existing symbol with the same name is accessible; if so, it is shadowed by the new symbol, which implies that it must be uninterned if it was present in package. Examples:
       (in-package "COMMON-LISP-USER")  #<PACKAGE "COMMON-LISP-USER">
       (setq sym (intern "CONFLICT"))   CONFLICT
       (intern "CONFLICT" (make-package 'temp))   TEMP::CONFLICT, NIL
       (package-shadowing-symbols 'temp)   NIL
       (shadowing-import sym 'temp)   T
       (package-shadowing-symbols 'temp)  (CONFLICT)
Side Effects: shadowing-import changes the state of the package system in such a way that the consistency rules do not hold across the change. package's shadowing-symbols list is modified. Affected By: Current state of the package system. See Also: import, unintern, package-shadowing-symbols Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
