[M3devel] imports anywhere?

[Jay]

Here is another SMALL gripe with the language.
The need to put IMPORTS at the top (or is it just common style?), leads to something I have seen several times.
You comment out some code, thereby deleting the only/last use of some import, that nets you warnings about unused imports. Granted, they are "only" warnings, but I try to have none. Also granted, you can either comment out or just go ahead and remove the imports, easy.
 
It might be nice if the IMPORTS could be adjacent to the code using the IMPORTS, so that they can be comment out or removed together.
 
This "problem" is not unique to Modula-3, by far.
In fact, Modula-3 is probably more able to warn about this low cost waste due to its much better module system, compared to say, C and C++ #includes...
