Ok, you're right. You don't *have* to. But every proposal I have
seen does in some way (usually importing or specifying which version
of a class you actually meant).

I think you misunderstand me here. I don't mean the "when I press

things like Shout that make it faster to digest what you're seeing in
source code.
