Exclude named imports

✅ Viability Checklist

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
• This isn't a request to add a new utility type: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/No-New-Utility-Types
• This feature would agree with the rest of our Design Goals: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/TypeScript-Design-Goals

⭐ Suggestion

There are libraries like @mui/material that have a number of named imports such, e.g. createTheme, useTheme, debounce, darken that can pollute intellisense.

While I don't want to exclude the entire @mui/material module, it would be great if I were able to exclude specific named imports so they do not show in the intellisense.

📃 Motivating Example

I have my own methods for useTheme and darken and wish to show my own methods in the intellisense and exclude those from @mui/material.

   I want to be able to exclude specific named imports from modules

3. What workarounds are you using in the meantime?
