Wow. All of the comments in the PRs that you guys linked to make this look
like quite a mess, even if we're ultimately better off. It does seem pretty
messed up to me though that you can't use a symbol's full import path when
you've imported it selectively. I would have expected to still be able to do
that, just not have access to any of the other symbols in the module that
it's in - unless they too were selectively imported.
