New warning: missing import lists
Import lists are useful when importing from a package, because they insulates the client from possible name-clashes caused by additions to the package. There are also some good reasons not to use import lists; see Commentary/CodingStyle.
For those that want to use import lists, we should have a warning that identifies imports with missing import lists, perhaps for package imports only. Note that
import M (T(..))Qualifies as an insufficiently specific import list; the sub-names of T should be specified.
