[erlang-questions] import/1

[Maria Christakis]

I think import/1 is used like this:

"If a module from another package is used repeatedly in a module, an 
import declaration can make life easier:

    -module(foo.bar.m1).
    -export([f/1, g/1]).
    -import(fee.fie.foe.m2).

    f(X) -> m2:g(X).
    g(X) -> m2:h(X).

will make the calls to m2 refer to fee.fie.foe.m2."
