[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0075: Adding a Build Configuration Import Test

[Patrick Smith]

I can’t decide if this would be a good idea or not? I can see pluses and minuses!

Consistent.
One way to remember to work with modules.
Reinforces the rule that if you want to work with a module, you want to import it.

Could get confusing exactly where things are being imported, but you can stick an import away from the top of file today.


I imagine might still need something like `#if module(UIKit)` for certain scenarios, but not sure.
