The docs currently say that import-as doesn't work if the imported thing is a submodule. Patch #662454 points out that this documentation is factually incorrect, and suggests to remove it.

Can anybody remember what the rationale was for documenting such a restriction?

Not me.

If not, I'll apply this patch.
