Really?  As will be clear, I really like HOL light,
I think it's one of the best current systems for formal
mathematics (e.g., it was used for the Flyspeck project).
It certainly is a practical system.  Still, HOL Light has
no module system whatsoever.  (And _certainly_ not in it's
"foundational system" :-))
