[erlang-questions] Retrieve all auto-imported functions

[Robert Virding]

I don't know why it does this, it doesn't make sense. Of course import in Erlang doesn't do what many expect, ALL it does is a little name munging so you don't need to write the module name when calling the imported functions. The functions aren't "imported" into the module in any way or become special in any way. It only provides some syntactic sugar and has no semantic meaning at all.
