Shouldn't be static import a.b.c.d;? It's a little odd to get imported
just the last part. I'm not convinced though.

That's a good idea. The same question as about, if there are a.b.c.d, this
should add a.b.c.d or simply d to the current symbols?

> - allow a shorter syntax to import several modules from the same package ("import a.b.{c, c2, c3};" or similar)

What about the standard syntax: import a.b: c, c2, c3;? I don't know if
that works for modules, though, but I think the syntax can be extended to
allow that.
