• import : imports statments generates an exception. you still can merge manually different files

• global options : the global options are not supported yet

• unique enum : will be implemented in next release

• extends : Message extend are not implemented since it’s mostly usefull with imports and they are not supported yet

• packages : Like google official implementation, it won’t be implemented because python use the file paths as modules/package
