It is?  I don't see "from" very often.  Seems like an unusual name for a
variable.  Saying it will break "a lot" of code seems like an exaggeration.

"in" seems inappropriate in this situation.  "as" perfectly correlates to a
renaming or aliasing action.  "in" is confusing and looks more like an action on
a set.
