improve import syntax

[Kris Siegel]

The syntax could stay the same while adding the other way as well. Yes it
adds a complication but I don't know that auto complete friendliness was
considered when adding the original syntax.

You can't really say the editor is the problem because there are cases in
which an editor can't realistically guess where the imported item will be
coming from for an auto complete but with the suggested changes it could as
Ali suggests.

I would say making the syntax more auto complete friendly should be a topic
to explore. Makes it easier for developers (which should be the goal of
almost all standard changes).
