This is correct. `b` is not a member of `a`, it's an import. I'm tempted to mark this as `INVALID`.

If imports are not members, then:

__traits(allMembers, importing_module) must not return imports; __traits(hasMember, importing_module, "imported_module") must return false; it must be impossible to refer to the imported module as 'importing_module.imported_module' everywhere including the importing module.

Also, being an import and being a member are not conceptually exclusive. "`b` is not a member of `a`, it's an import" sounds too dogmatic to me.
