But that's true for explicite imports as well:
import util : x1,x2,x3;
-->
import oauth : x1,x2,x3;
What's the point? Or what do I miss?
(Name qualification in code, I mean at use place, is best used for std or
third-party lib, I guess. When one uses their own utils, it's generally not
useful; listing used symbols at import place is enough for reader
documentation.)
