FWIW I don't like the variant with 'from' keyword. Such syntax is too verbose for me, this syntax requires braces, I need to parse whole contents between braces to find out what is going here, we don't use words to represent hierarchy i.e. when calling methods/props of instance or referencing nested types (Type1.Type2).

IMO the best solution will be '::' as separator, so

("hello swift”.module() from ModuleA)

will be :

"hello swift”.ModuleA::module()

I’m thinking I’ll just go ahead and create a formal proposal with this:

Given
    ModuleA
        extension String {
            public func module() -> String {
                return "ModuleA"
            }
        }

    ModuleB
        extension String {
            public func module() -> String {
                return "ModuleB"
            }
        }

Problem
    ModuleC
        import ModuleA
        import ModuleB

        let module = "hello swift”.module() // ambiguous

Proposal
    ModuleC
        import ModuleA
        import ModuleB

        let moduleA = ("hello swift”.module() from ModuleA)
        print(moduleA) // prints "ModuleA"

        let moduleB = ("hello swift”.module() from ModuleB)
        print(moduleB) // prints "ModuleB"

        let chainingExample = ("hello swift”.module() from ModuleB).uppercased()
        print(chainingExample) // prints "MODULEB"
