Why Fable.Import namespace has been removed ?

By convention Fable bindings are under Fable.Import namespace.

Taking Monaco, as an example:

• Previous version of ts2fable: https://github.com/fable-compiler/repl/blob/master/src/Monaco/Monaco.fs#L1-L12
• Binding generated with current master branch of the repo: https://github.com/fable-compiler/ts2fable-exports/blob/dev/Monaco.fs#L1-L10

Problem, with the new version is the intellisense feel really strange.

    let options = jsOptions<Monaco.Monaco.Editor.IEditorConstructionOptions>(fun o ->
        let minimapOptions =  jsOptions<Monaco.Monaco.Editor.IEditorMinimapOptions>(fun oMinimap ->
            oMinimap.enabled <- Some false
        )
        o.language <- Some "html"
        o.fontSize <- Some 14.
        o.theme <- Some "vs-dark"
        o.value <- Some "<h1>Maxime</h1>"
        o.minimap <- Some minimapOptions
    )

Yes, I could open Monaco but even then I can still do Monaco.Monaco.

If we was having Fable.Import, we could have something like:

    open Fable.Import

    let options = jsOptions<Monaco.Editor.IEditorConstructionOptions>(fun o ->
        let minimapOptions =  jsOptions<Monaco.Editor.IEditorMinimapOptions>(fun oMinimap ->
            oMinimap.enabled <- Some false
        )
        o.language <- Some "html"
        o.fontSize <- Some 14.
        o.theme <- Some "vs-dark"
        o.value <- Some "<h1>Maxime</h1>"
        o.minimap <- Some minimapOptions
    )

And like that offer the same user experience as for Fable.Import.Browser, Fable.Import.JS, others bindings, etc.

In general, I use:

open Fable.Import

Browser.document.getElementById ....

Like that, I can easily scope and see which API I am using.

@ctaggart Ok I think I see, your point. Thanks for the explanations

And seems like your decision was the right one here 😃

Yes, I dropped the default namespace prefix of Fable.Import a long time ago and would prefer it not be added back. Configurable prefix would probably be good. Monaco.Monaco issue is a separate issue. Fable.Import.Monaco.Monaco would not be any better.
