Correct. It is about memory. Also using `from` allows for using less repetitive and less error-prone syntax.

Does that really matter when you just run local? I assumed the entire package would be installed from the package repository and then only certain parts are loaded into memory depending on the import syntax?

Appreciate the discussion, btw :)
