I already gave my +1 on the original proposal and if `canImport` is indeed
easiest to implement we should get it going now.
The `#if import Foo` blocks and conditional imports with version checks can
easily be added at a later time without much complication or breakage, AFAICT.
Good if you can include those in the "Future Directions" section.

Splendid! I'd already forgotten about qualified imports and renaming! Those
would be welcome additions too.
