This is an alternative to Exporter intended to provide a lightweight subset of its functionality. It supports import(), @EXPORT and @EXPORT_OK and not a whole lot else. Unlike Exporter, it is not necessary to inherit from Exporter::Lite (ie. no @ISA = qw(Exporter::Lite) mantra). Exporter::Lite simply exports its import() function. This might be called a "mix-in".
