I think Julian's point is that the import now imports something other
than the file's contents, in such a way that the original contents
can't be reliably reproduced -- and that 'import' is the operation for
which such behavior is least appropriate.

I'm not sure I have a strong opinion one way or the other, just trying
to summarize his position for clarity (or possibly I've got it wrong,
in which case he'll correct me).
