no-redeclare-with-import-autofix

================================

This is the

`builtin eslint rule no-redeclare <https://eslint.org/docs/latest/rules/no-redeclare>`_,

but with an additional fixer that can automatically remove superfluous

(duplicate) imports.

For redeclarations that are not imports, there is no automatic fix, as

the author will likely have to rename variables so that they do not

redeclare existing variables or conflict with the name of a builtin

property or global variable.

Typical duplicate imports happen when a `head.js` file, imports

a module and a test then subsequently also attempts to import the same

module.

In browser mochitests, an additional typical scenario is importing

modules that are already imported in the main browser window. Because

these tests run in a scope that inherits from the main browser window

one, there is no need to re-import such modules.
