Description
E.g
from foo import *
...would be optionally exported to:
from foo import a,b
...if `a` and `b` were used in that module.
There's something a bit similar here we could borrow ideas from: https://github.com/fake-name/autoflake/blob/master/autostar.py
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing how nbdev handles Python imports and compare the requested behavior with the ideas in autoflake's autostar.py. Define the optional expansion for `from foo import *` so only names used in the module are exported, then verify the generated import matches the example and preserves current behavior when the option is disabled.
