Yes, indeed, I meant as you think: when talking out loud about things we refer to the package as “Daniel Dunbar’s String Extension”, but in the code we would want:

    import StringExtensions

or in the case of conflict:

    import ddunbar.StringExtensions

> import org.sadun.StringUtilities // I can live with this but I'd rather import with a custom name established in dependencies

Another reason I think to avoid being able to customize the import name is for consistency in the packaging community. We should be trying to establish recognizable names.
