This is also by design and mentioned in the docs. Except is always exclusive on a previously defined import, if there is no import, then we take all macros and functions.
Imagine you "import Foo.Bar, only: ..." and then in some part of your code you have a conflict and would you like to remove that conflict in particular. If except brought everything back, it would be confusing behaviour and the only alternative would be for you to repeat the whole list in :only except for the element you want removed. *José Valimwww.plataformatec.com.br <http://www.plataformatec.com.br/>Founder and Director of R&D* On Sat, Sep 23, 2017 at 2:29 PM, Ben Wilson <[email protected]> wrote: > Setting aside whether or not the existing functionality is intuitive or > not, this isn't actually a proposal.
