I don't use it. I want to know specifically what classes I'm loading, and 
add comments about why I'm loading them if it's not obvious. Others might 
argue that it makes life easier, but it doesn't make life easy for 
users/developers who use your code, and searching for what library defines 
some class. If somebody insists that it's a language feature, and makes use 
of that feature for convenience, then I hope that they also consider 
documentation a feature, and make use of that convenience too. ;-)
