There are two different concerns being addressed here: ease of use and load time. I am not sure the two can be optimised simultaneously. On the other hand, if we had two public APIs for importing (similar to matplotlib's pylab vs. pyplot), we could satisfy both parties, without placing too much of a burden upon developers.
