No. I wanted to know, what justification the OP gives for the 
existence of import statements.

If he would have given "avoiding name collisions" then he would have 
been in the immediate need to show, that name collisions in packages 
cannot happen, which seems to be an impossible mission.

There might be other arguments, but all would be broken, as soon as 
one starts to allow for pruning the hierarchy.

The ultimate question after such a start would be:

    Why do I have to write "import *;"?
