<p>
Other modules may also define types that we wish to refer to. In this case we
need to import them.
</p>
<p>
Like functions types can be referred to in a <em>qualified</em> way by putting
the imported module name and a dot before the type name. For example,
<code>bytes_builder.BytesBuilder</code>
</p>
<p>
Types can also be imported in an <em>unqualified</em> way by listing them in
the import statement with the word <code>type</code> before the type name.
</p>
<p>
It is more common in Gleam code for types to be imported in an unqualified way
than it is for funtions to be imported in an unqualified way.
