    | Why not let us spell this as:
    | 	class X(Y):
    | 		from Y import foo as _sfoo, bar as _sbar
    | 		...

Not if Y is a class though, right?  That would currently raise an
ImportError, so why not hijack it for this purpose?  I think it has a
natural and clear enough meaning without requiring additional
keywords, or complicating the base class specification syntax.
