You are importing symbols. And when you do "foo()" you know
you're
calling a function. With the change, you'll never know what

does.
Yes you know: you look at the source code, or the documentation.
You don't do it for _every single symbol_. Good good matches
naive assumptions, this is exactly what allows to read it fast.
Reading code where you can't make assumptions about anything is a
transitive (possibly exponential) task. Exactly the hell you get
with undisciplined C macro usage.
