What is your preferred import style (sh.itjust.works)

There are a few I'm aware of:

Rust-style use (multiple imports per statement, renaming items using as)
Java-style import (single import per statement, no renaming (afaik))
Zig-style let xlib = @import("xlib") (imports as assignments)
C-style #include (no importing, just pastes the code of the named file)
