Given that you *probably* imported "foo" with the plan to *use* one of its functions, you'll encounter an unqualified call sooner rather than later, and any "win" will promptly be lost.
It's not a one- or two-levels win, it's a transitive win. An unqualified call in one implementation would trigger only one level of import.
That said I agree it's suboptimal, but it's a net improvement in the compiler that requires zero changes to source code. According to Walter it would also get rid of some forward declarations issues.
