Based on your explanation, my original understanding of the semantics
were correct. This:
> import java.util.Collections;
..is not a dot import -- a dot import makes visible every (exported)
identifier in the package. This just exposes the one identifier --
Collections. I don't have a problem with that. The equivalent in Java to
what I'm complaining about is .*, and it seems like (from my skimming)
it isn't what people reach for most. (Note that methods are still
qualified by classes, because they're methods).
Go does not have an equivalent of:
import foo.bar.Baz; // java
from foo.bar import Baz // Python
import Foo.Bar exposing (Baz) // Elm
It might be nice if it did; it would be occasionally useful to import
single identifiers (e.g. Context from context).
