Could ``` import foo, baz from "bar" as bar; ``` allowed simultanous import of named exports and the module itself? If so, the grammar gains a pleasing regularity. OTOH, I think this syntax reorganization is orthogonal to some of the other issues discussed. In particular, your latter proposal still allows for user confusion between: ``` import _ from "underscore"; import "underscore" as _; ``` The various proposals seem to try to address this by making these semantically identical (or near-identical, with some cooperation from the module author). --scott
