scalac hides a root import from Predef if there is an explicit Predef import.
We now do the same (previously we did this only if the overriding import undefined
something, using a x => _ syntax). To avoid cycles and races one had to be very careful
not to force import symbols too early, so we now compare the name before the symbol proper.

All this is likely temporary - the comment of ImportInfo#unimported points to a different,
more systematic solution.

Note: The difference in semantics showed up and caused problems for the current collection strawman.

You could put a if (isRootImport) assert(symNameOpt.isEmpty) here to enforce what the documentation says.
