This attribute is the equivalent of the @import-type annotation and is used to import aliases for types from another class.
The attribute accepts one or more strings which list the class from which the aliased type needs to be imported. The attribute itself does not have a knowledge of which types are valid and which are not and this will depend on the implementation for each particular tool.
The arguments can be named arguments and the type is aliased with the name of the argument and the value is the name of the class from which it needs to be imported.
They can also be unnamed arguments with a string that contains both the name of the alias and the name of the class from which it needs to be imported, but we recommend using named arguments.
If the class has more than one type alias that we want to specify, the aliases can either be declared as a list of strings for a single ImportType attribute or as a list of ImportType attributes (or even a combination of both, though we don't expect this to be actually used).
