I certainly wouldn't mind this simplification either.

Although the import side has this one extra syntactic special case for defaults:

  import x, {y as z, ...} from "..."

That seems really redundant. I assume mixing default import with
others will be an extremely rare case, and when really needed, can
easily be expressed as either

  import {default as x, y as z, ...} from "..."

or

  import x from "..."
  import {y as z, ...} from "..."

Although the import side has this one extra syntactic special case for defaults:

```js
import x, {y as z, ...} from "..."
```

That seems really redundant. I assume mixing default import with
others will be an extremely rare case, and when really needed, can

```js
import {default as x, y as z, ...} from "..."
```

or
