There's no precedent for symbols shadowed by imports.

I believe local imports were first implemented without paying any 
attention to shadowing. I think the broken semantics implemented in DMD 
without a sufficient up-front design were then back-ported into the 
documentation at some point. This still happens too often. This is the 
JavaScript style of language design.
