This has all the new import changes in it. That breaks a lot of existing
code (like dmdscript), the fixes are simple (adding more import
declarations) but tedious.
I couldn't find a better keyword choice than "static import".
The renaming uses '=' instead of 'as', 'from', or 'alias' for the reasons:
1) didn't want to add new keywords, especially ones like 'as' as I use
that as a variable name
2) didn't need to add new keywords - adding them should be done only if
using punctuation is completely unappealing
3) using '=' and ':' is visually more distinct than embedded keywords.
