It is consistent. "del <object>" is also keyword based. In both of
these cases making the commands functions would be deceptive.
import(foo,bar)
would mean that "foo" and "bar" existed before the import function was
call and
del(foo)
means that a reference to "foo" must still exist after the del function
has returned (thus negating the purpose of the command). There is no
legitimate way to do del with a function, and the only way I can see
to do import would be something similar to
bar = import("foo", "bar")
which is silly.
