Yes and no, of course it will work, but might be counterintuitive.

uses x, a.b.c;

a.b.c.d.

if x also contains an identifier "a".

error : a.b.c.d identifier not found. (but a.b.c.d exists).

So that would change the whole importing behaviour. The only solution would
be to only allow qualified identifiers and qualified import.
