`zmod.symbol` works, too.

I don't think so. The point of the renamed import is that you 
have to use the new name. If you want the new name to be 
optional, import the module twice:
     import my.module;
     import zmod = my.module;
This way both `symbol` and `zmod.symbol` work.

As far as I can see, everything works as intended.
