I'd like to see what kind of program you could write without any  
#includes in C, or without any imports in Java. Not a whole lot.  Java,  
for example, has nothing in the toplevel namespace, even Object is in  
java.lang.Object.

I already often do using [trigger anything anything], it would be a  
minor change.
