improve import syntax

[Ali Ghanavatian]

Exactly Bob, that's the point.
You would not have a list of components until you mention which file are
you about to import, compare it with the alternative syntax: you mention
the file and you get the list of component without any need to go back.

With the npm package, it is awesome but it could go wrong if there be files
containing components with same name.

My editor (emacs/tide) can auto-complete named imports as long as the
module name is there on the line.
I just type

```
import {} from './foo';
```

and then go back to insert things in the `{}` and get auto-completion.
If your editor can't do that, file a feature request.
