Sometimes it does confuse clang, at least I saw problems with a `typedef enum` 
when I made an include-once header `textual`.

That's correct. `#import` is an external source - often it comes from the users 
of the header and not the author, and the users might not be consistent with 
each other. `textual` comes from the author and a much stronger indicator of 
intent.
