New description:
Currently, import_statements yields a name error if the class is not yet
imported. For example
{{{
sage: import_statements(ClonableIntArray)
NameError: name 'ClonableIntArray' is not defined
}}}
It would be desirable to have import_statements run a search_def in case
the object is not imported by default in the interpreter. This would
require passing the name of the object as:
{{{
sage: import_statements("ClonableIntArray")
}}}
The patch improve import_statements by looking through SAGE modules in
order to find an appropriate import. See the documentation for examples.
