Ideally we would have flexible import syntax that allows for control over *how* 
names are imported into a lexical context (including the ability to import 
names within a very specific scope if desired).

Cross decencies?  I don’t understand.

But it is a practical and effective one.  Introducing a new construct like 
namespaces must carry significant advantages over what is already possible.
