        I understand that there may be some use cases where not all that stuff 
is needed. But IMO, the default behavior should be the one that reflects the 
majority of use cases. I don't believe that the examples you gave constitute a 
majority, but am anxious to hear from others.

        The only thing that is being questioned is the default of 
implicitImports=False. Why shouldn't that default to True, and the developer 
can change that to False for those few cases where it is advantageous to not 
implicitly import?
