This is the right way to do it, IMHO, if you have something like
matchers.Or that needs to be treated like part of the syntax. Otherwise,
module-only imports massively improves the ability to find where
something comes from.

I also think that machine-enforced style, where appropriate, is very
helpful in keeping our code base readable. Repeated patterns and style
help a lot, and anything that can be easily machine-enforced is a win in
my book.
