Personally i found it weird and inconsistent that
you can import and define anywhere at module scope
but for any other scope you have to define and import before use
I think the rules should have been the same everywhere
and if there was an exception to be made, it could be made for
the main function
since the main function is special anyway
Personally I would either do
import
declare and define
main
or
main
import
declare and define
the later, is because main is special, so it is as if i am saying
this is what i want to do (main) and to do it (import) this stuff
and (declare and define this stuff) ... putting main first would
be just to highlight it and attract attention to it
importing and declaring anywhere at module scope is just too
random for my taste
