no-duplicate-imports rule triggered for import type statements

[elliottsj]

eslint recently introduced a 'no-duplicate-imports' rule which is triggered if there are two or more import statements from the same module.

It seems that this rule is also triggered for import type Flow statements, e.g. this results in an error:

import { foo } from 'someModule';
import type { Bar } from 'someModule';

afaik, there's no way to combine these two statements into one import statement. Would this be an issue with babel-eslint since it provides the Flow syntax support?

The rule is not differentiating between type and regular imports and sadly babel-eslint can't do anything about that as far as I can see. Probably this rule is a good candidate for adding to https://github.com/babel/eslint-plugin-babel and adjusting it to differ between these two import types.

Closing in favor of babel/eslint-plugin-babel#59
