This is a bit dangerous, since we can get into ambiguities again.
If I have A::B::C::Foo,  A::B::C::Bar, X::Y::Z::Foo and X::Y::Z::Bar,
I'd like to use shorthands for A::B::C's Foo and X::Y::Z's Bar at the
same time.

While we don't want to go the whole C++ namespace route, I'd like to be
able to import 'all' of a namespace, or just selected classes from a
namespace.
