Import C is obsoloete before it is ready (wich it will never be). 
The limitations of import C will force people to conversion tools 
and/or manual conversion. C .h files are in general full of 
"clever" preprocessor tricks that never will be supported by 
import C.

import C feels like one of those corporate blunders where the 
management throws in resources into something that will hardly 
sell while it was obvious from the very beginning it was a bad 
idea.
