Hi Alexey, Gábor,

Thank you so much for this information. This is very helpful!

One trivial solution would be to change `ImporDeclContext` to behave

Sounds good to me. I will try this, see whether anything fails, and try to
get a sense of the performance impact.

Do you know of anyone using minimal import mode other than LLDB?

Cheers,
Lang
