How to rename a package's name on import

Using Swift

Is there any way to rename a package's name when importing it?

For example:

import Foo as SomeToolKit

I have never tried it but I think SE-0339 Module Aliasing for Disambiguation enables this?

Thank you, but that seems to require changing the file Package.swift.

The App manifest needs to explicitly define unique names for the conflicting modules via a new parameter called moduleAliases.

let package = Package(
 name: "App",
 dependencies: [
  .package(url: https://.../swift-game.git),
  .package(url: https://.../swift-draw.git)
 ],
 products: [
  .executable(name: "App", targets: ["App"])
 ]
 targets: [
  .executableTarget(
    name: "App",
    dependencies: [
     .product(name: "Game", package: "swift-game", moduleAliases: ["Utils": "GameUtils"]),
     .product(name: "Utils", package: "swift-draw"), 
   ])
 ]
)
