Renamed Imports

What happens when you love two classes so much that you cannot bear to be apart from either of them… but they share a name?

The Scenario: `Observable`

We have a few classes and interfaces named Observable in Android app development:

java.util.Observable
android.database.Observable
android.databinding.Observable
io.reactivex.Observable (for those using RxJava 2)
Perhaps ones from other libraries

(and this does not even count Kotlin’s own observable(), which at least is all lowercase)

In most cases, we only need one of these in any given Kotlin class.
