Contrarily, I prefer one list the reasons of why current one is broken and corresponding sophisticated solutions.<

I can answer both, adding a small change from what I have said last time :-)

import foo;
Imports in the current namespace the "foo" module name.

import foo: *;
Imports in the current namespace all the names inside foo, but not the "foo" module name itself.

import foo: bar, baz;
Imports in the current namespace the "bar" and "baz" names, but not the "foo" module name.
bar and baz can be anything, packages too.
