especially with `import * as foo from "...";` if you *REALLY* want to get it all.

While this approach enforces strict types (eg renaming exports) i prefer my IDE to import the right thing rather than me importing everything. How I import stuff (in vs code):

- write code
- IDE suggests a symbol
- either use symbol (and auto import is added) or ignore
- if ignore suggested symbol, use the `quick fix` actions to import the correct thing

This really is not a chore, and my build will break if I rename symbols (which isn't the case if using default exports, in which case i need to manually scan my project to rename the import to ensure the name I've given it still makes sense.)

What other benefit are there to using `import * as foo from "...";`? (Genuine question as I do not use this approach.)
