Topic: Is there a way to import only one item from a module
Ben (Jun 09 2025 at 19:04):
I want to use a single function from a module. I don't want the other items to "pollute" the current file system namespace. Is there an import ... only [x] feature?

If I understand correctly, this is on Sebastian Ullrich's roadmap for this year.

There is open Foo (bar) - which brings only the item Foo.bar into scope. (to clarify: this is in Lean)
