Always silently succeeds.

Shouldn't this cause
Can't locate object method "import" via package "Misspelled" ... ?

The import method is special cased to do nothing when it doesn't exist, in
order for "use" to not throw errors when a package doesn't implement it.
Interestingly, methods in UNIVERSAL also don't end up throwing errors since
they just use the default implementation even if the package doesn't exist.

Foo->DOES('Foo') # 1
Foo->can('can') # returns a coderef

AFAIK this is not documented (the docs say there is absolutely nothing
special about 'import').

Maybe this should be mentioned in perlmod.
