+ *  sub statements that holds detailed import information.
+ *  When a module is imported, the importing module may:
+ *  o  use any grouping and typedef defined at the top level in the
+ *     imported module or its submodules.
+ *
+ *  o  use any extension, feature, and identity defined in the imported
+ *     module or its submodules.

+ *  o  use any node in the imported module's schema tree in "must",
+ *     "path", and "when" statements, or as the target node in "augment"
+ *     and "deviation" statements.
+ *
+ *  The mandatory "prefix" sub statement assigns a prefix for the imported
+ *  module that is scoped to the importing module or submodule.  Multiple
+ *  "import" statements may be specified to import from different
+ *  modules.
+ *  When the optional "revision-date" sub-statement is present, any

+ *  definitions in the local module are taken from the specified revision
+ *  of the imported module.  It is an error if the specified revision of
