1) $ cat a.go b.go
package p

import . "unsafe"

var _ = Pointer(nil)
package p

import . "unsafe"

2) $ gotype a.go b.go
doesn't report an error

3) $ go tool 6g a.go b.go
b.go:3: imported and not used: "unsafe"

Issue: When dot-importing a package, the dot-imported objects are not cloned. But they
are marked when used so that the type-checker can detect that a dot-imported package was
used. Since the objects are shared, once an object from a dot-imported package is used,
that package is used no matter where else it's imported (for instance, it may be shared
via Configuration.Packages in another package).

Comment 1:

Related: since the type-checker sets obj.used flags for objects in other packages, it is
not safe to run two instances of the type-checker in parallel as they race calling
obj.used=true.
