C# 6.0 under Roslyn Platform supports Static import. It requires statement like:

using static System.Console;

so the code might look like:

using static System.Console;
namespace TestApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            WriteLine("My test message");
        }
    }
}

The earlier planned version for C# 6.0 had static import without static keyword.
