Import does not demand name mapping. You can import a full path without 
aliasing.  This will work fine:

(ns multi.core
  (:require [multi.ns1]
            [multi.ns2])
  (:import [multi.ns1.Animal]
           [multi.ns2.Animal]))

(multi.ns1.Animal. "hi")

(But remember to use the keyword :import, not the symbol. This will be 
tightened up in the future.)
