So, this is one of the cases where the spec seems to be wrong: the
<import_name> is probably a mistake. None of the other examples in the spec
have it, nor do we see it in other TOSCA examples.
Note that if we needed an <import_name> than it would even have to be for
the short form. So:
imports:
- importname1: myfile.yaml
- importname2: otherfile.yaml
- importname3:
file: lastfile.yaml
The above seems wrong (also, what role does the import name have?). In ARIA
we treated this as an error in the spec, so we do not have the import name.
