Imports a specific pool. A pool can be identified by its name or
the numeric identifier. If newpool is specified, the pool is
imported using the name newpool. Otherwise, it is imported with the
same name as its exported name.
So basically, export and then import with a new name.
Read the entire chapter from the man page to be aware of the side
effects. :-)
