A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

is
```import MyClass as SomeType```
the same as
```import MyClass
typealias SomeType = MyClass```
?

typealias becomes available to other files, they can use in declarations etc

No. An aliased import is local to that file. A typealias can be imported in other files, just like a class:
```
// A.kt
typealias Foo = Bar

// B.kt
import Foo
```

import MyClass as SomeType is just rename some member (class, function) for this file

And a typealias is a duplicate symbol, not a rename

so if i use `typealias` i could still use the original name but i cannot do that if i use `import as` ?
