**Disclaimer**: I have no problems with standard import philosophy.
TIL that I can both import nothing from a module and alias it; my previous
attempts failed, and looked like this:
# Regardless of order, this imports all symbols from `foo` into the current
namespace
# and allows for fully qualifying symbols from `foo` with either a `foo` or
`f` prefix.
import foo as f
from foo import nil
My latest attempt works and approximates what imports are like in Python.
# This imports foo as f and requires fully qualifying symbols from `foo`
using the `f` prefix.
from foo as f import nil
I think that's pretty nifty, even if I don't end up importing things that way.
