im guessing it is this flag on import which seems just horrible ``` provider string The name and URN of the provider to use for the import in the format name=urn where name is the variable name for the provider resource```

so i thought that meant something like ```pulumi import yes s ipd aws s3 aws s3 bucket Bucket itplat regional 629205377521 us west 1 itplat regional 629205377521 us west 1 provider us west 1=urn pulumi ipd aws s3 aws iam pulumi providers aws us west 1 ok yes that seems to work``` very hard to read help description
