I agree that the default imports should be sufficient for most typical uses. 
But it should be possible to create and share a Drake add-on in the form of 
a simple module to be imported. An import would be needed for that. Plus, 
even without Drake add-ons, it's reasonable to think that some people may 
have reason to import something from Phobos, or something from their own 
project, that wouldn't normally be used in most other buildscripts.
