Once this is pulled, I intend to extend it so that enum members
for imports are not semantically evaluated at all unless they
are used. This is a first step to making all semantic
evaluation of imports lazy, which should give us a big boost in
compilation speed, as well as do a much better job at handling
forward references.
I've been meaning to do this for some time, starting with enums
because they are the easiest.
Awesome!
