cfml

Am I correct in that CFML doesn't support import aliasing?

```import com.example.SomeThing as ExampleSomething
import me.adamcameron.SomeThing as AdamSomething```


I just typed that in today assuming it would work, and was surprised when it didn't (this was on Lucee), and wondered whether I was getting it wrong. However can't find any docs, so suggests I was just imagining that I had done this before.

I remember someone explaining to me it was because the import tag did something different than the Java or PHP import statements, but I don’t remember the details and it was years ago. 

Yeah have def used in PHP. Probably misremembering that. I caught myself writing `var_dump` the other day :wink:

Was surprised to find that Java dun't support it. But like Groovy / Scala / Kotlin do.
