	'Organize Imports' is a feature I am working on, that reevaluates all the needed imports in a compilation unit and
	replaces the existing imports in a user-defined sorted way.
	The sorting also contains empty lines between blocks of imports.
	
	This feature (empty lines between imports) can't be implemented with the current API for imports.
	Another shortcoming is that removing and setting of imports has to be done import by import. This
	will probably lead to flashing when using the feature.
	
	My suggestion is to add some API to IImportContainer:
		delete() to remove all imports
		setContent(source) (formatted source, including multiple lines of import statements (including empty lines)

No, the current solution directly accesses the underlying buffer.
