Feature request: aliasing classes at import

>import a.b.z.w.ClassName as ...a.b.ClassName; >or >import x.y.z.w.ClassName as ...y.ClassName; // y is characteristic
>import a.b.z.w.ClassName as ...a.ClassName; // a is characteristic
you mean  , it would be for instance  for Date class  (if we make use of  dot prefix) :
import java.util.Date as .util.Date; import java.sql.Date as .sql.Date;

nice idea :)
