Hmmm, I don't remember python doing this. Do you mean like Java?
See the solutions used in Python.
But this stuff is long settled in D, so this discussion is now academic :-)

I skimmed some of the Python docs on this and it seems reasonable. In
Python I'd get my shorter example by doing something like:
from std.stdio import *
Which would put all of the std.stdio module's symbols into the current
module's lookup table. I probably used this a lot back when I used Python.
I also noticed something in there that I wish I could do in D:
from sound.effects import echo
echo.echofilter(input, output, delay=0.7, atten=4)
I think this would be analogous to the following D code, if it worked:
import std;
stdio.writeln("Hello world!");
That would be nice. D seems to force your symbol qualifications to be
either fully qualified or not qualified at all, which is not always the
best solution :/
If D can somehow do partially-qualified module names, then please teach me.
