Feature Spec

Examples syntaxes (made up):

bring "@cdktf/provider-aws".s3Bucket as s3Bucket;
// new s3bucket.S3Bucket();

bring "@cdktf/provider-aws/lib/s3-bucket" as s3Bucket;
// new s3Bucket.S3Bucket();

bring "@cdktf/provider-aws/lib/s3-bucket".S3Bucket as S3Bucket;
// new S3Bucket();

bring "@cdktf/provider-aws":[s3Bucket.S3Bucket as Bucket];
// new Bucket();

...

Use Cases

• Add a syntax to allow individual namespaces in a jsii library to be brought into the user's code with an alias.
• Add a syntax to allow individual types in a jsii library (at the root namespace, or from a sub-namespace) to be brought into the user's code with an alias.
• Add a syntax to allow individual namespaces or types to be brought into the user's code from a "deep import" (aka "barrel import") like "@cdktf/provider-aws/lib/s3-bucket".

Implementation Notes

First we will need an amendment to the Wing Language Spec with the proposed syntax(es)
