Hi all,


        Paul proposed to enhance import aliasing to an alias with a package
name(see GROOVY-8527[2]), which I think is useful sometimes, so I have
implemented in groovy-parser project[1].

        If no one rejects it, I will sync it to apache/groovy project.

Cheers,

I am unclear about the use case for this. I mean if you

import java.lang.String as some.package.MyString

you will have to do "new some.package.MyString()". If you are fully 
qualifying the name, why not use the original name instead.
