I am able to override whatever my laziness brought into scope from Lib1 (caused by my * import) with a meticulously chosen implementation from Lib2. It is brilliant. extensions on the other hand work differently (although something could undoubtedly be done about them, I cannot entirely convince myself that it is time well spent. It would be if that could be a stepping stone form something else (which I have not been able to identify so far).</div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div>So it is dependent on the order of the imports? That’s rather fragile IMO and I would prefer having to solve clashes explicitly independent of import order, e.g. by having to hide the version from Lib1:</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class="">import Lib1 hiding func2 // strawman syntax</div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class="">import func Lib2.func2</div></div></blockquote><br class=""></div><div>It doesn’t depend on the order, but it <i class="">does</i> consider naming a specific top-level value to be a “better” choice than importing the whole module, on the grounds that you wouldn’t have written it that way otherwise.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>(I’ve been lukewarm on the entire feature of selective imports for a while since there are often a lot of helpers in the same module (think UITableView and UITableViewDataSource).
