This question is a bit convoluted, so please bear with me…

I have some common functions that I use occasionally for tracing and such. For example, Common.ii/2 provides a shorthand version of IO.inspect/2:

foo = bar
|> ii(:bar)
...

If I want to keep a trace around for later, I comment it out. To keep my code tidy, I use an import statement:

import Common, only: [ ii: 2 ]

However, if none of the traces are currently in use, this generates a warning:

warning: unused import Common

So, I have to comment out the import line:

# import Common, only: [ ii: 2 ]

My problem arises when I import more than one function, only one of which may need to be commented out:

import Common, only: [ ii: 2, str_list: 1 ]

I tried using multiple import statements, but this fails silently (only the last one takes effect):

import Common, only: [ ii: 2 ]
import Common, only: [ str_list: 1 ]

So, I’m forced to use some rather awkward code formatting:

import Common, only: [ # ii: 2,
  str_list: 1 ]

Comments? Clues? Suggestions?
