This also allows one to pass parameters to `foo.init()`, something you cannot do with naked imports.

In case we're still in the design phase of the language, named arguments would help around that (coupled with a good IDE)... but yeah, probably i agree with how i interpret your comment.

Shouldn't be like how parent proposed imports work. Would lead to too much pain.
