Replying to [comment:20 SamAnklesaria]:
> Thanks for the comments. `parseName` relies internally on a function
from HscMain that does just that: name parsing. I don't think it can
handle import declarations, which is why I wrote `hscImport`.
Yes - I'm just suggesting that instead of `getImportDecl` you call it
`parseImportDecl` and make it parse a complete import declaration for
consistency.
> As I removed the "import" from the string the user entered (saving all
the import parts in a `remembered_ctx` seems redundant), it needs to be
prepended or the parser won't understand it.
My suggestion is to not remove it in the first place, that seems simpler.
