The document does specify the advantages and disadvantages of lazy

qualified names
everywhere, and the `import`s would be effected only when names are
looked up.
This would allow scalability but not the dependency-carrying aspect.

That would be a massive breaking change.
This may be a misunderstanding. The idiom would be opt-in so existing
behavior will be preserved (albeit it won't benefit of the improvements).
