Because it's not really global -- it's relative in the same way _ViewStart is.

👍 _ViewImports.cshtml perhaps?

@danroth27 are we going with _ViewImports.cshtml?

Sounds reasonable to me.

Does "import" refer to importing it into each view file? I initially thought that the @using directives were being referred to as imports, but of course that's not the only directive that you can use within this file. _ViewDirectives would be another option, but I'm not strongly against the suggested name.

Does GlobalImport do something that ViewStart doesn't? I forgot why there are two files, since they both contain "CS HTML" (Razor code).

By the way, would it be difficult to allow these files to be renamed by the developer? (I've never been a fan of the underscore prefixes)
