What is the intended way of importing lettable operators?

RxJS version: 5.5

I’ve been using lettable operators since 5.5 was in beta, it was great. But I have a few concerns regarding the way to import them.

Are we supposed to do this:

import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';

or:

import { map } from 'rxjs/operators/map';

Either way, it works the same. But for the sake of consistency, shouldn’t there be only one way of doing this?

I’m really hoping we see a future version where we can import most or all of the RxJS stuff from a single place. Here is an example I have in a simple use of RxJS right now:

import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import { of } from 'rxjs/observable/of';
import { _throw } from 'rxjs/observable/throw';
import { delayWhen } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { timer } from 'rxjs/observable/timer';

This is rather tedious, of the 5 things I want, all 5 have to come from a different module.

I’d like to write something more like:

import { Observable, of, _throw, delayWhen, timer } from 'rxjs';

Of course I could accomplish this myself with some kind of wrapper, but I would like something close to this to become idiomatic, documented official usage. A man can dream?

The intended way to import lettable/pipeable operators in 5.5 is:

import { map, filter, mergeMap, tap } from 'rxjs/operators';

Sorry it took so long for me to respond. 👍
