Thanks, Alix, for offering an honest perspective. It's a shame that it 
conflicts so much with your personal preferences. However, fwiw, you'd only 
ever see that in the import section at the top of a module, so perhaps it's 
not so bad? You can also use import renaming, or you can group Tango package 
imports into a single wrapper import (which lots of people have already 
asked for). For example, other people have been asking for this:

# import tango.io.stream.all;

That's not the case at all. As I've said a couple of times in this thread: 
as much as we might like to, we can't go making sweeping changes to the 
library based upon a personal preference, because such changes would 
inevitably conflict with the personal preference of others. There's no way 
to resolve that dillema. Period. So, it's not that we're immovable at all. 
In fact, we're perhaps 'extremely' open to change, and often turn things 
around in real-time.

Cheers;
