+   says that names from namespace IMPORT_SRC should be visible within namespace
+   IMPORT_DEST.  These form a linked list; NEXT is the next element of the
+   list.  If the imported namespace or declaration has been aliased within the
+   IMPORT_DEST namespace, ALIAS is set to a string representing the alias.
+   Otherwise, ALIAS is NULL.  DECLARATION is the name of the imported
+   declaration, if this import statement represents one.  Otherwise DECLARATION
+   is NULL and this import statement represents a namespace.
+
+   C++:      using namespace A;
+   Fortran:  use A
+   import_src = "A"
+   import_dest = local scope of the import statement even such as ""
+   alias = NULL
+   declaration = NULL

+   import_src = "A"
+   import_dest = local scope of the import statement even such as ""
+   alias = NULL
+   declaration = "x"
+   The declaration will get imported as import_dest::x.

+   C++:      namespace LOCALNS = A;
+   Fortran has no way to address non-local namespace/module.
+   import_src = "A"
+   import_dest = local scope of the import statement even such as ""
+   alias = "LOCALNS"
+   declaration = NULL
+   The namespace will get imported as the import_dest::LOCALNS namespace.
+
+   C++ cannot express it, it would be something like:  using localname = A::x;

+   import_src = "A"
+   import_dest = local scope of the import statement even such as ""
+   alias = "localname"
+   declaration = "x"
+   The declaration will get imported as localname or `import_dest`localname.  */
