Import or Using in the csproj file?

[aktxyz]

I tried the following line from this page to add a namespace to the implicit using list ...

<Import Include="System.IO.Pipes" />

and that did not seem to work. Googling around I found another tag name that did work

<Using Include="System.IO.Pipes" />

Thanks @aktxyz. It's a little confusing because there were two separate breaking changes - one for Preview 7 and another one for RC 1. <Import> worked for Preview 7, and <Using> works for RC 1 and later versions. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/compatibility/sdk/6.0/implicit-namespaces-rc1 for the RC 1 changes.

I've created PR #26756 to hopefully make this less confusing.
