13:58 < bstrie> is there a pretty-print mode to replace a glob import with a
                precise list of names?
13:59 <@pcwalton> bstrie: no unfortunately
13:59 <@pcwalton> good idea though

So if I have a file with this:

use foo::*;

...and of all the things that foo provides, I only ever end up using bar and baz, then it should rewrite the import to:

use foo::{bar, baz};

I have a tool for this: https://github.com/nick29581/deglobber WIP

With deglob refactoring in RLS, can this be closed?

Per Scott's comment in #617 (comment) I'm closing this.
