Yep, unless a tool is doing it for you, I think the time spent managing
the verbose imports is better spent writing English prose
documentation.  :-)  And really, even if a tool is doing it for you, I
think certain core packages like java.io.* and java.util.* should just
be imported wholesale all the time.
