Personally, I don't like the idea at all.  :-)  I don't see the need
to bring whole namespaces into scope.  And even if I did, I wouldn't
overload the standard import syntax to mean namespace scoping as well -
an entirely different syntax would be better, e.g.

    namespace Foo.Bar
    namespace A.B
    import Baz			-- gets Foo.Bar.Baz or A.B.Baz or both.
