Well, I don't like it, but aside from that, there doesn't seem to be a need to distinguish the files we import in that way. It seems to complicate things.
I'm also not sure of when we could make a clear distinction of when or when not to use it. Maybe we could use it when we are referring to a specific file and suppress it when we are using it for convenience...? It still seems like a hard distinction to make since we give them so much code directly through the LaTeX documents...
