Thanks. I considered this but it put pressure on the relationship 
between the name and where it's looked up. Consider that imports in a 
function don't need to be at the top. They may also be in nested scopes 
inside the function. It becomes quite tenuous to explain where the 
parameter type names are looked up. -- Andrei
