Um, maybe I'm not seeing something, but isn't the effect of 
"import goom.bah as snarf" the same as "from goom import 
bah as snarf"? Both forms mean that we don't end up looking 
for (the aliased) bah in another namespace, (thus both forms 
fall prey to the circular import problem).

Why not just disallow "from ... import ... as ..."?
