Name shadowing of an import when assigning it to a function argument causes spurious unused import diagnostics #120

Description

@KristofferC

The following module causes a warning about an unused import but it is in fact used.

module M

using Base: wrap_string

function f(wrap_string = wrap_string("foo", UInt32(1)))
    print(wrap_string)
end

end

ExplicitImports.jl says:

  However, module Main.M has stale explicit imports for this 1 unused name:

    •  wrap_string is unused but it was imported from Base at M.jl:3:13

which is not true.
