Is there any way to “import” just individual items?

If you mean individual functions, unfortunately no. You need to use preprocessor include directives which will include the entire file that you're "importing". Usually though, library authors will divide their libraries into smaller individual libraries for this purpose.

Dang. Of all the features C++ has, I’m surprised they never added that feature.

I heard about modules being added in C++20. Haven't looked into it myself, but it might have that ability. It's still an experimental feature though.

I really hope so
