Here are typical import lines from Numba and `cuda-python` examples:

```auto
from numba import cuda
import cuda.cuda as cuda

```

How do you resolve this conflict? Specifically, `@numba.cuda.jit` is not allowed.

I usually do

```python
from numba import cuda
from cuda import cuda as cuda_driver

```
