> This is the list of changes which need to be made to avoid split packages. As a separate issue, we should outline what compiler (or other) changes might be made that would allow (some of) these changes to occur without breaking source compatibility. Possibilities include:
>  * a separate tool to add/change imports
>  * some mechanism to define additional default imports per module
>  * automatic renaming by the compiler from old to new package names (enabled by a switch)
>  * add deprecated delegates for existing classes which point to the new versions
>  * some classloading trick to rename packages on the fly when loaded (will Java9+ allow this?)
> groovy:
>  rename groovy.xml.QName to groovy.lang.QName
> groovy-ant:
>  rename groovy.util to groovy.ant.util
> groovy-console:
