Another idea nicked from C#. I often find that I want to make an alias for an
imported namespace and it would be convenient to do it in a single line of code.
E.g.

import SomeCompany.SomeLibrary.SomeClass = MyAlias;

instead of:

import SomeCompany.SomeLibrary.SomeClass;
alias SomeCompany.SomeLibrary.SomeClass MyAlias;

I'm very, very lazy :)

I like the idea, but would prefer something more like...

import foo.bar.baz as fbz;

Exactly. Just like Python does it :)

I'm still tempted to request 'from' too... could you imagine:

from std.string import toString as toStr;
from mango.io.FilePath import MutableFilePath as XPath;
