There was a thread about this on HN a few days ago, and one of the
comments suggested to reverse the import syntax so that the imported
script is named first and the imported entities next. A rationale for
this is that it would help automatic completion.

Personally, the thing I still miss is custom types. But that falls into
the category of features to be added when Vim9 script is frozen,
I guess. Other than that, I am really enjoying Vim9 script!

Happy new year!
Life.
