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
this button, please dump these 30 lines of code into my source"
nonsense that one does in a Java IDE.  I was thinking more about
things like Shout that make it faster to digest what you're seeing in
source code.
