I believe it's the other way around. Seeing T alone has n bits of
information. Seeing foo.T carries more bits of information. So Seeing
x := foo.T{}
for example, tells me about everything what I need to know when I already
know what is and why I or anyone else imported package foo.
OTOH, "naked" T from an imported package loses that information and
requires to additionally build a mind map from T to foo. That's arguably
not simpler.

Well, then I hope your code reviewer does not share my opinions about dot
imports ;-)
BTW: Neither are dot imports allowed inside the Go project itself. IINM,
the only exception are tests that were written before the build system (the
go command) existed.
