> Type names should be imported and used unqualified

This just pushes people to have redundant information in types (`IoError` instead of `io::Error`).

Unless a type is widely recognized (like `HashMap`), I prefer to have them fully qualified so I have the contextual meaning for it. If I am working with a generic name like `Source`, what does that mean? I shouldn't have to look up in the imports to understand the code (or only understand it through an LSP).

Reducing imports also reduces unnecessary merge conflicts.
