`import.*("path/to/module")` in addition to the existing expression `import("path/to/module")`, which would be equivalent to:

```js
import * as _i_ae9fa from "path/to/module";

// where the expression appeared...
_i_ae9fa

```

It's useful for solving name conflicts and contributing static media.

Unfortunately... I could just think of `import.sync("path")` (initial version of this post) or `import.*("path")`. The latter is shortened, in comparison. I honestly prefer ECMAScript 4's fully qualified names (`net.cartoon.weare.Item`), they look much more readable (but then importing media would be different).

I like `import.static("path/to/module")`
