Is there any way to do `using Foo` and have all the exports only accessed via `Foo.bar`?

I am having an issue with two packages defining the same name. When I use both I get a warning about the ambiguity.

You can use `import Foo`

Indeed! I am constantly switching between Julia, Python and other things, forgot about the import convention. Marking as solved, thank you.
