[Bug] `import` fail to parse dot syntax statement if it encounter a keyword about imhex HOT 1 OPEN

This is not a bug. When the import statement is tokenized each identifier separated by a dot becomes a token. Any token named 'match' must be a keyword token so tools.match cannot be resolved into the file match.pat located in the tools folder.

Note that in most languages (including c and c++) keywords cannot be used as identifiers either and pattern language is no exception. You can't use built-in type names as identifiers either. Valid identifiers must not be any of the keywords or built-in type names or named operators defined in the language and must start with a letter or '_' and can only contain alphanumeric chars and the '_' char.

Also note that

import "tools/match.pat";

is perfectly fine because the file name is a string so it is not broken into identifier tokens as the entire becomes a string token and string tokens can contain any char sequence.
