Better ways to manage import names and aliases about jennifer HOT 5 CLOSED

You don't need to use ImportAlias or ImportName - if you don't use these, aliases will be assigned to each import automatically.

Sure, but the default aliases are not always good enough (which was, probably, the reason to introduce ImportAlias and ImportName in the first place). Especially in the context of code generation where it is, perhaps, relatively common to have many packages with the same folder name (e.g., foo/xyz, bar/xyz, baz/xyz).

UPD: sorry, the wording in my original message was misleading. I edited the message to make it clearer.

An alternative approach would be to make ImportAlias and ImportName types of *Statement.
Then they would be applied during the rendering (similar to how Qual itself is applied).

This can also potentially partially address #72

The aim of jennifer is to produce correct code (e.g. code that compiles). Producing pretty code with your preferred formatting is a nice-to-have but not something I'll be complicating the API to facilitate.
