Eric Milles commented on GROOVY-8254:
-------------------------------------
JLS 7.5.1 says it’s an error to import a name that is the same as a top-level
type in the compilation unit. So maybe we should go there. Groovy does the last
name wins thing, but maybe it is time to be a bit stricter.
> Alias is ignored in constructor call
