Import lists are useful when importing from a package, because they
insulates the client from possible name-clashes caused by additions to the
package. There are also some good reasons ''not'' to use import lists;
see [wiki:Commentary/CodingStyle].
For those that want to use import lists, we should have a warning that
identifies imports with missing import lists, perhaps for package imports
only. Note that
{{{
import M (T(..))
}}}
Qualifies as an insufficiently specific import list; the sub-names of `T`
should be specified.
