Mostly, but there are some pathological real-world cases in which using
#import will fail.  The GCC developers, I believe, feel that GCC ought to
make sure it compiles everything properly rather than adding a feature that
makes the somewhat common case easy yet completely breaks certain legacy
pieces of software.  Can't say I disagree with them.
