Just a thought but with all of proliferation of imports down to
each declaration comes the pain that e.g. renaming a module
cascades to countless instances of import statements. This is
true of local imports as well but the problem gets bigger.

Could you not have the old module just be empty and publicly
import the new one, and also deprecate it so people have time to
change their code? Also having special syntax makes finding every
occurrence of an inline import a fairly simple search.
